A little mouse lives under your nose all the time. Its name is Jerry. He works and he plays. He loves and he hates. The computer mouse is entering his mid-life crisis as the floppy disc did. He evolves and turns his mid-life crisis into ours. This interactive mouse allows audiences to review their sense of control and superiority over other objects through spiritualizing a seemingly unspiritual machine. A story starts from an it and ends with a he.
