Amidst the backdrop of a dark and stormy night, a solitary figure sits inside, entranced by the mesmerizing glow of their smartphone, lost in an overstimulating digital world. A sudden power outage shatters their electronic cocoon, leaving them in a daunting darkness. Disconnected from their digital lifeline, they grapple with a lack of meaning. As the storm subsides, their senses gradually calm and tune in to everything that usually goes unnoticed—the gentle windchimes, distant nightbird melodies, and gentle raindrops. A newfound joy blooms from this reconnection with nature's simple beauty. An abrupt interruption—the power returns, the circuit reconnects. The habitual cycle of smartphone dependence triggers an internal struggle. They yearn to break free, to recapture the unfiltered happiness found beyond the screen. But as the glow beckons, the journey to liberation proves easier said than done. Join us in 'Circuit Break,' a modern tale of our struggle to find the balance between the digital and natural worlds. Break free from destructive cycles, reset the circuit, and rediscover the symphony of living authentically.
