Ethan Bloom wakes up in his New York loft with one clear goal: today he will become famous. His plan is simple—film a viral video featuring a random pigeon he's named Steven. But Steven proves to be incredibly photogenic and stubborn, and his neighbor, a violinist named Lila, believes fame is a relic of the past. The 2026 comedy-drama unfolds over a single day, turning a quest for likes into an unexpected exploration of human connection in the age of digital loneliness. The story balances absurdity with tender moments as Ethan negotiates with a bird, tries to impress Lila, and finally grapples with what it means to be truly seen.

The director employs static wide shots to frame New York City, contrasting them with jittery, almost documentary-style close-ups of Ethan's face during moments of panic. The camera follows the protagonist like a persistent follower, never letting him escape the frame.
