Synopsis:
Experiential and somewhat dark in humour, this short takes a slanted look at modern work routines and life in the office. We see two neighbours work in the same open-plan office. One loves order, the other is a hedonistic slacker. What happens when these two extreme opposites find themselves on a collision course, time after time?
