beginning: see man getting out of bed with younger woman but dont see her face, he puts his wedding ring back on as he leaves her house. Gets in his BMW to go to work as an accountant. Hes "high-up" in his office - has his own office. Every day he looks out of his window into the wider office and sees much younger competition, doing much better than him. His job is at risk. As his boss comes into his office, he stops to talk to Marcus, an apprentice who he gets on with way better than he does with Johnathan. Boss critisised his work. He goes home, when he gets in his wife, Penny starts questioning him on where he was last night, he brushes her off - he lies often so finds it easy. Hes very condesending and gaslights her, telling her shes ditsy. Penny asks him if hes attending school awards, he walks away without answering and tuts. very subjective point of view. Make it very overstimulating and exhausting, as if seeing it through his eyes. Something happens which causes him to become upset and leave, storming out. He leaves his house to go to his local pub, unwinds to bartender, also flirts with young woman infront of bartender. Bartender remains neutural but advises him to try a special shot - shot is what causes him to pass out at the bar where he next finds himself at the library.
