​

Seymour, a socially awkward, middle-aged man lives his life by a dull daily routine and has long since given up on attempting any change. It, therefore, comes as no surprise, when a bat flies in through his window early one morning, that Seymour puts up minimal effort in chasing it out before abandoning the pursuit.

Seymour and the Bat develop a rapport, leading the bat to try and help Seymour deal with his life in the best way possible.

 

The film was loosely inspired by American philosopher Thomas Nagel’s “What is it Like to be a Bat?”, an article raising issues regarding the mind-body problem, explicitly arguing against the possibility of psycho-physical reductionism.
