Chasing the idealized version of himself
While running to the bus, a man trips. In a Sliding Doors kind of way, but not really, an idealized version of himself who didn’t trip materializes. That one makes the bus.
This infuriates the flawed version of our hero, who was too clumsy to make it to the bus, and is just now getting back up. He chases after the bus, knowing that if he were flawless like he should be, he would have made it.
The movie is a chase scene through various aspects of life, as our flawed man tries to best this fake, perfect version of himself. In frantically trying to catch up with the idealized him, who never falls, never stutters, never hesitates, and never makes a wrong decision (and is thus always way ahead of him and living the perfect life), the real version of our hero ends up destroying himself.
