The WALL

On a Sunday morning, a man wakes up and makes himself some coffee. He sits down on the couch, sipping his coffee and watching TV. Suddenly, he hears shouting and commotion from downstairs. The man realizes that his neighbor is involved in a violent fight with his wife. He calls his neighbor and expresses his concern, but the noises from downstairs continue, indicating that the fight has not stopped.

Feeling conflicted and unsure of what to do, the man debates whether he should intervene and try to stop the fight or stay out of it and avoid potential harm. He decides to stay put, but his conscience begins to weigh heavily on him, causing him to question his moral responsibilities as a neighbor and member of society.

As the day goes on, the man's inner turmoil continues to grow, forcing him to confront the consequences of his inaction and grapple with the complex issues of domestic violence, personal safety, and social responsibility.
