Write a short summary of what happens in the film

In the past decade, the percentage of people who read and purchase books has massively declined. While in the past, people turned to books for entertainment, they now turn to interactive and digital multimedia to fill up their free time. However, one thing remains the same: that regardless of whether a person reads a book, or watches a video, it will always pertain to their likes and pastimes. The film starts with a simple question, “Are you into books?”. While the question is simple, those asked were puzzled,  and the film continues to highlight what each person was into, which was mainly everything besides reading. As the cast continues to state their preferred pastimes, the filming becomes more intimate, and closes in on their facial reactions, only to then cut abruptly to a set of different books, just as the film cuts between the diverse cast and their unique preferences.
