Title: Dads
A computer animation of a city street with tall buildings and traffic moving along a busy road. An elevator arrives on the 8th floor and the door opens. A wireframe figure carries a satchel walks into an apartment passing a second figure sitting in a chair in a living room watching television. He goes into the toilet, closes the door, and locks it.
The figure sits on the toilet contemplating and someone attempts to open the locked bathroom door. Outside the door the other character, a woman, rubs her chin. Inside the toilet the figure continues to sit and think as the light outside changes to darkness. He lays in the bath while outside the door the other figure sits on the floor waiting. A wireframe figure of a child appears.
With the man leaning against the bathroom wall the door is tried again. It doesn’t open, a cigarette rolls across the floor. The figure climbs onto the window looking outside into the sun. Sitting on a ledge to his left another figure reading a book, on his right a second figure who offers the man a cigarette. The camera pulls back revealing wireframe figures sitting in all of the building windows and lights coming from other buildings around the city.
