A group of teenagers floats down the river, pretending to be dead for social media. One of them drifts away unnoticed. As the body floats downstream, it passes overworked delivery workers, restless holidaymakers, and distracted families, each too caught up in their own absurd microcosms to see the quiet tragedy passing by.
