During a walk in the woods, a man stumbles upon a gate blocked by a guard who refuses to let him through or tell him why he’s unable to do so.

Based on the short parable “Before The Law” by Franz Kafka and produced by Brian Lederman and Armando Luis Alvarez and filmed by Alvarez, Inertia extrapolates and builds upon Kafka’s poignant absurdest story about obstacles in our lives, byzantine bureaucracy and the ways in which we choose to deal with both.
