Aaron is a
bachelor living a stereotypical life with a decent earning. He works in a bank,
managing people’s finances, but he has trouble to manage his own life in late
20’s. Whenever he finds a minute of privacy in his day, he hastily delves into
his own fabricated reality: a world of excessive sex, pornography, and
masturbation. However, this is a manifestation of his feelings of intense lack
of connection (Anorexia-Avoidance), and the loneliness around him.
One day
Aaron meets a new neighbor and establishes a connection. This moment lights a
spark inside that grows, opening a door to achieve the emotional and physical
satisfaction he was longing.
Is Aaron
ready to give up his comfort zone?
"Authentic"
is a portrait of a person desperately trying to find meaning in the compulsive
pursuit of climax. In his quest for satisfaction he either doesn't see his real
desires or ignores it deliberately?
