Lean Days

Fed up with his tedious desk job as a content writer, a young man decides to quit on an impulse. He wants to write a novel but does not have a story to tell - a lack of clarity that afflicts most of those who are stuck in a rut. The inexperienced writer sets out across the country without a map, looking for inspiration and love. Travelling across several cities, mixing history with imagination, he encounters stories of people and places that help him discover his place in the world. Poetry, art, music and a yearning for romance shape his words. Written as a travel diary, the journey of the nameless protagonist of Lean Days is the story of an artist's struggle to find an echo in life.
