Who doesn't like to fantasize? The protagonist as both character and narrator of the movie, happens to be an unemployed, directionless cartoonist. His designs meddle in an otherwise chaotic world to which he seeks to rewrite pictorially. His plot and storyline are based on the real people of his life and a few hapless others. In essence, those others are rebelling against their own destinies as if they hadn't chosen them in the first place, even his grandfather at age 80-something. The movie is essentially boils down to regret and rebellion against age (or aging), and while an interesting concept, it has at its base disingenuous people whom are selfish, don't take responsibility for a life of their own decisions, and are now yelling at the wind in desperation. Rewriting the narrative? That's called decision-making, not fantasizing.
