The film is set in a world where the human desire for order and rules has outlasted everything else. This world follows different social rules and norms, and people’s purpose in life is to stand in line. This is simply accepted and even seen as meaningful and important. Cal, however, begins to question society and the system because of his situation and finally finds the courage to break out of the line.
