After a night at the club, a man tries to enter his car but is blocked by the software that runs it because of his alcohol level. The man and the car discuss like a couple until his physical and verbal aggressions grow unexpectedly. The film is an allegory for gender violence, by representing the distorted vision of a possessive man.
