Four accountants hard at work in the finance division of a publishing firm. They discover an existential manuscript caught among their spreadsheets. Can they connect these disparate things and possibly find meaning?
Drawing inspiration from plays such as No Exit and Waiting For Godot: an attempt to claim the things we cannot have, and an attempt to recover the things we used to have and have lost. A Cage Goes In Search of A Bird navigates people’s quiet struggle with belonging and the meaning/lessness of life.
