Walter Black floats in a pool during the opening title. A narrator introduces Walter and his hopeless depressing life story.As Walter descends into depression, he sleeps all the time, in awkward places, including work meetings and during posing for family photos. His family is also miserable so Walter leaves them.

ICONIC QUOTE:
"This is a picture of Walter Black, a hopelessly depressed individual. Somewhere inside him is a man who fell in love. Who started a family. Who ran a successful company. That man has gone missing. No matter what he's tried, and he's tried everything, Walter can't seem to bring him back. It's as if he's died, but hasn't had the good sense to take his body with him. So mostly what he does is sleep."
