Ep 2
Plot of Bref.02 Je remets tout à demain.
The main character is a master procrastinator. He keeps postponing tasks—canceling his old internet subscription, throwing away a moldy Tupperware, reading emails, or even just replacing a burned-out lightbulb.
He starts tasks but never finishes them—like reading books, signing up for financial aid, or putting a photo in a picture frame he bought six months ago (which still contains a stock photo of a random little girl).
Even when he tries to unsubscribe from services, if the process is too complicated, he just stays subscribed. He buys a hard drive to back up his files but never actually backs them up… then loses all his data.
In short, he always pushes things to tomorrow. But for him, tomorrow never comes.
