Treatment

After shopping for essential and preserved food, Lazlo locks himself up in a bathroom. The bathroom, absent of usual bathroom-ware, only has a cabinet filled with paper and a pencil above the cabinet, on its countertop. Lazlo sets aside his food and begins to write. While what most of what he writes remain obscured, he is seen writing the words, "be nicer." Each sheet of writing is stacked into the bathtub to the left of him; many thousands accumulate, almost spilling over the side of the bathtub. During his breaks from writing, Lazlo snacks on some of the food he bought. He does so often and every time he does, a rock bounces off the bathroom's window above him. Eventually his pencil runs out of lead and a rock pierces the bathroom window and lands on the bathroom floor. Afterwards, he looks at his bag of food and realizes that there is no more food left, which is when rocks begin pouring into the bathroom. He stands up and is knocked down by the rocks. He is soon buried by a mountain rocks. When the flying rocks cease, it becomes clear that Lazlo's bathtub of writings have been conquered by the mountain aside it.

Lazlo's experience is metaphor for the ultimate lack of impact of many artists' works - the rocks vs. his accumulation of writings. Even though Lazlo has dedicated his life towards his work by locking himself in his mind, his intended importance for his work is overshadowed by the reality that he ignored or locked himself out of.

Other interpretations are cool too. :D
