A solitary unnamed man (Alex Winters) in the heart of an immense, ruined, and forsaken megalopolis, stands on the ledge of a skyscraper that stretches miles into the sky.

He drops from atop the tower, and falls through a dizzying, dazzling panorama of surreal imagery into the realm of the unknown.

Has the man discovered a hidden portal that offers an escape from his devastated and abandoned metropolis?

Maybe it is a figment of his imagination - a way for his mind to achieve release from unimaginable loneliness and despair?

Or is his dive an act of suicide?

The sci-fi short film a DROP does not offer any concrete answers. Instead, the events depicted are intentionally left open to your interpretation.
