SYNOPSIS
Zero is a 27-year-old aspiring cartoonist that makes a living as a steward in an airport and as a private tutor for a wealthy eight-grader and entertains daily conversations bordering on paradoxical with his conscience, which manifests itself in the form of a human-sized armadillo. One night, he is devastated to learn by email that Camille, a childhood crush to whom he never confessed his love, has died as a result of anorexia. After telling the news to his mother and his friend Secco, Zero has recurrent flashbacks of their time together.
