In a world that doesn't stop spinning, Jack does everything the world expects of him, he works, he provides and he puts on a smile. But beneath the surface, the pressures of society begin to chip away at his composure, fracturing his sense of self.
Relationships and friendships can offer support, but no one ever knows the true depths of someone's mind. The only person who can truly save him is himself.
'The Ordinary Man' is a haunting exploration of masculinity, grief and the silent battles men fight to appear strong. Even in the busiest of cities, we can feel so alone.
