Series Synopsis
Markus works as a Kids show host, a job that started as a passion and after growing to consume his life it has turned into an annoyance. Having become delusional, his life outside of work has become a distorted version of his show, complete with puppet roommates and drug dealers, talking refrigerator and paraphernalia, lessons addressed to an imaginary audience and even an imaginary crew. Markus tries to cope with his job and insanity in the least healthy ways possible, only making his delusions more prominent. Oblivious to his condition and constantly ignored, his neighbor, Jane, always try to give Markus a positive view, but Markus sees her as one of the few human characters in his life, but equally ridiculous as the others.
When Markus producer tells him that the show will be ending after this season he is overwhelmed with relief but also fear for his future. His delusions begin to convince him to save the show, because he would lose all of them without it, and be left crazy and alone. Once convinced Markus finally begins to try again at work, the show gets better ratings, but it continues to drive him crazier. He is eventually pushed to the edge and think the only way out is death.
