"take care of the mundane (chores/day to day operations of our passion project) or the mundane will take care of you" or at least that is what I think is the moral of the story that they were trying to convey in this film. Mr. royal was so absorbed in the clouds with his building complex that he forgot to put the effort into the worldly stuff needed to maintain it intact.
