In the world of film theory, the director is the supreme creator. However, for Bob, the protagonist of this one-minute meta-metaphysical nightmare, that hierarchy collapses with a single keystroke. While trying to enjoy a well-deserved moment of peace with a piece of cake, Bob realizes his reality doesn't belong to him, but to an invisible Editor. Time for Bob ceases to be linear-he becomes a victim of a brutal "Undo" process. Through a series of violent jump cuts, absurd wardrobe changes, and forced rewinds, Bob experiences a digital version of purgatory.
