Blake awakes from a coma for which there doesn't seem to be any explanation.
The film interweaves his and other characters' discontinued journeys, marked by peculiar encounters and disclosures embedded in the interstitial fabric of the city.
At once sober and enigmatic, 'The Partition' reflects on singularity, on alienation and intangible windows in the wider context of a shifting techno-capitalist environment.
