A Christmas Carol is a story of one afternoon and a conversation between a dejected man and a cheerfully unconcerned boy. The former has had a rough day and is in no mood for the boy's chatter. The latter, on the other hand, is unstoppable in sharing his love for dance and his approach to life.<br><br> The story is notably well-written and is beautiful in its simplicity. As the two exchange their dreams and stories, a sense of hope and perseverance is invoked which is perhaps all the Christmas cheer one needs this festive season. The film is heartwarming, innocent and goes to show the importance of good narratives in determining a film's success.

A Christmas Carol | Short Film of the Day

Juxtaposition is a film that demands the viewer’s time and attention. There is a staccato to the narrative,
which is accentuated by the continuous ticking of the clock that forms the background score of the
film. It makes you acutely aware of the passing time, time that you spend in watching the plot unfold before you. <br><br>
A man is trying to bolt his gate. He performs the same action about a dozen times before it clicks. He is
writing a letter. He writes something and strikes it off several times. The first words are spoken when
one is already six minutes into the film. The rhythm briefly changes and an eeriness sets in. He is trying to
book tickets to go home for Christmas, but a strange force stops him. All of these elements tie up together to put forth a narrative for the patient viewer who chooses to stay till the end with the film.
