John finds himself alone in a sterile, empty world. At first he cannot move, but after breaking his stupor, John is able to explore his surroundings. Step by step his aching body stumbles through a world that is definitely trying to tell him something. But to figure out what brought him here, John has to listen to the clues, accept the past, fight a seemingly endless fight through pain and sorrow and finally find an exit out of this lonely, bleak void that is of his own making.
Feeling guilty means being lost, hurt, sad, paralyzed, hopeless, angry. “Try To” should make us feel all of the above. It is a story about guilt and a story about a question: Can we keep on living, knowing what we have done? The world that surrounds our main character John, is fabricated by his mind, his thoughts, fears, hopes and memories. John has encapsuled himself in this
imaginary world to keep out the real one. However, through his senses, the outside keeps creeping in. The things he hears and feels in the real-world weave into his imaginary experience, hinting at what he has done. He can now choose to keep
ignoring reality and with it the ones that need him the most, or he can come back into the real-world and live with his guilt. John will never be able to live a normal life again, but for his family he at least must try to.
