The short film is presented in a theatrical manner with its fixed frame very much fashioned like a stage. As characters enter and exit it, we only see their silhouettes, thereby revealing the action to us only by way of bodily movements, coupled with dialogue that we hear when they are on screen.

Each character brings to life their own respective issues, all equally tragic for them, and equally hilarious for the audience. From stolen expensive shoes to the inability to secure the perfect cup of tea (and domestic bliss!) to a local lunatic who simply fancies a broom, the narrative is embellished with them all. At the expense of the characters, there is humor to be found, eventually allowing the film to present to you a brief, entertaining story rooted in everyday reality.
