In Missing Out, Billing uses the collective breathing exercises that she remembers from school as a vehicle to define the difficulties experienced by the individual within the group, the desire for conformity and its impossibility for some people. A young man tries to join in the activities of a group of people who lie stretched out on an institutional floor. Unable to settle, he gets up again as the film abruptly shifts to the interior of a car, then shows him standing on the street and later wandering around a supermarket. In each scene he appears more agitated than before. Eventually he returns to the bosom of the group and tries again to join in the simple exercise of communal breathing.
