A man who appears to live an ordinary, inconspicuous life struggles against a tendency to walk backwards that puts glitches in his smooth trajectory. After leaving work early one afternoon without rhyme or reason, he begins walking in the opposite direction and plunges into the woods beside the highway. When he reaches the end of the forest, another one, invisible, begins. He wanders the Invisible Forest, discovering its depths, while its inhabitants tell him, "it doesn't exist."
