He goes through life unnoticed and out of touch with the world, until
he realises which signs he should be paying attention to.

Ein Elektriker montiert Nacht für Nacht Leuchtreklamen in der Stadt. Sein Leben ist reine Routine. Unbeachtet und unachtsam geht er durchs Leben. Bis er plötzlich merkt, welchen Zeichen und Signalen
er Beachtung schenken muss.
