This is how it seems for people who tend to lead routinary and sedentary lives. It is like mechanically dancing  through day to day nuisances.  For the lead character in this animation, the  change and realization  came upon hearing the strains of a melody played from a girl's guitar.  He, in turn, helps others to cut loose from their machine-like existence and experience what it really means to live.  Cut free from the strings that confine them,  the characters were able to relish what freedom really is!
