This Academy-Award-nominated short film centers around a businessman who sadly forgot his purse. So there he is the "poor" fella sitting at a café ordering coffee after coffee to avoid the waiter getting him the invoice. Which is constantly rising this way of course. Thankfully he's not alone at the café. There's a sleepy old God-devoted lady next to him with a whole bunch of banknotes in her bag. Oh no, he won't. Or will he?
This film thrives mostly through the character animation. Joubert, the director, succeeds in making all five characters compelling to watch thanks to his fixation on detail. You almost regret you can't focus on several characters at the same time occasionally as their actions are so interesting to watch. I liked the first half of the eight minutes a bit more than the second, but it's suffering on a high level. It surely is a good short film that leaves us with a catchy tune and a noble message. Oh and don't worry it says Language French, there's only two sentences or so actually spoken, so you'll have no trouble understanding everything.
