There Is No Was is a thirteen year long journey through the clumsy life of Walter, growing up in the late 90s and early 00s, as he struggles to measure up to the impossible standards of the world around him. To say he feels awkward among his peers is beyond an understatement. His mother drinks heavily, wandering in and out of the frame as he relocates to the beach to live with his father. Here, he begins to rack up failed attempts at being acknowledged by the fairer sex, all the while continuing his struggle to find a single human being he can relate to. His only friend becomes the bizarre Smiley, a homeless young man drifting from town to town. For Walter, a whole new level of debauchery and loneliness is about to open up and swallow him whole.In the end, all he has to rely on are his fragile memories and the many strange life experiences he has collected along the way. If any of it means anything, he certainly wouldn't be able to tell you.
