He’s a little guy in a big suit. He doesn’t fit in this world

I like Byrne's summary of the movie. I never thought of a "plot".

From the article: David, you’ve said the film has a narrative. How would you describe it? Byrne: There’s a guy who is not that comfortable socially, very anxious and nervous, and he gradually finds community and a way to let go, through music and dancing. He finds a way to be more comfortable, and he finds joy.

It’s a reflection of his childhood. Due to his then noticeable accent he had some issues integrating with other kids in school and became somewhat introverted. That has pretty much defined his career trajectory.

Well, that and him having autism:

He's written a lot and been on TV a lot. I suppose somewhere in all that verbiage, you can find an "answer." Or several.
