The story

What Is Ident About?

The premise of Ident without spoilers.

The film examines human nature, portraying a man whose feet and face feel like clay. In a city of walls, corridors and rooms, he moves from home to work, to a bar, and by chance steps into open, colorful space. He reshapes his visage to match his surroundings, interacts with his dog, argues with coworkers and chats at the bar, dual nature outdoors.
