Last but not least: Is this a commercial?
The short film «Man in a Cube» is about a writer who lives inside a work of art in the middle of Astor Place in New York.
The writer Dave wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of the city without losing his creative energy. So he made himself at home in a 2.4m wide cube of black steel in the midst of the streams of passers-by so that he could write in peace without contact with the outside world. He only leaves the box at night.
In the cube, Dave finally and surprisingly discovers peace within himself - thanks to a special 60-second meditation. He no longer needs the box and moves out. The video ends with the logo of the Whil meditation technique.

Anyone who finds Dave's extremely realistically documented living space inspiring will be somewhat disappointed to hear that it is completely impossible to live in the cube. The writer Dave does exist, but the story is fictional. The operators of the platform Whil.com want to combat "technostress" with this successful video.
They also run a yoga and outdoor fashion label on the side. They seem to insist that this has nothing whatsoever to do with the movie. But they are certainly using it for advertising. (sis)
