Have you ever thought of travelling the world? Of finding yourself? Have you ever travelled and felt the breeze of the earth calling to you, and take you away to wonderland? Ever thought of travelling to see the majestic, magical, intriguing wonders of Life? To enjoy the dust flying around, to see a flower blossom. To travel, not for a bunch of photos for social media or to show off in front of your friends, but to travel because sometimes getting lost on the roads let's you find a way to your soul.
Walter Mitty is an average, 9 to 5 office worker with a monotonous daily schedule with little time for himself. He manages the negatives for the magazine called LIFE. Ironically, he has no life. He is the kind of guy who cannot even fill the "Been There, Done That" section of a dating profile. He goes to office everyday, processes negatives and that's it. The only escape from reality is his imagination about what he would do if a catastrophe strikes, if he had the guts that is. Unfortunately, as it only happens in his head, he is the only one amazed by it. He imagines everything from saving a dog from a burning building to flirting with his crush after scaling The Himalayas. One day, as he is going to LIFE he finds a surprise waiting for him there. The magazine is going online and they need to cut down on the employees. Everyone knows that because of digitalization no one requires processing negatives anymore, putting his job in jeopardy.
Even after the shocking news he goes to the basement where all the negatives are processed and gets to work. That's the day his life became a negative to a colourful photograph. He receives the last reel of negatives from one of the most renowned photographers for LIFE, Sean O'Connell. He sends some beautiful pictures and a wallet for Walter because it's his birthday. Among the reels is photograph no. 25, apparently the most life defining picture Sean has ever taken. The board receives a telegram, and the contents of it say that photograph no. 25 is "The Quintessence of Life" and should be put on as the cover photo of the last issue. Everyone is asking about 25 but as it turns out, it is not with the other reels of negatives. Which spells big trouble for the magazine, especially Walter.
In an attempt to get the most important photo for the magazine he embarks on a journey to find the rarely seen Sean O'Connell in the hope he still has the photo with him. He processes the remaining photos to find some clues and unfortunately most of them does not make any sense to him. But he gets one picture, the name of the ship which Sean travelled in, a ship of Greenland. During the journey, a lot of unexpected happens. From a nine to five worker he becomes an adventurer. His imagination and reality merge into one and he finally does the things he was visualizing about. He finds what he is capable of, and finds his life during the journey.
So, will he meet Sean O'Connell? Even if he meets him, does Sean still has "The Quintessence Of Life"? What are the hardships Walter faces on the way? What all is he willing to do, for one tiny little negative? Will he ever get to see the most lively photo clicked by the amazing photographers? Everything will be answered if the movie is given the time to be watched and understood carefully.
