Synopsis
In a dingy cafe in North London, Sebastian Hamelin muses over a novel. His bold, and unforgiving ideology flows out in a stream of consciousness: his hatred of politics, employment and transport are conveyed in a persuasive, satirical manner. However his lonely life is fueled by hypocrisy and his hatred of the city may not be as simple as it seems. Underlying this contempt is a subtle and hard-to-spot realisation that it's not the city he despises at all.
