Escaping solitude through cunning, imagination, or simply by reaching out, the characters in these shorts discover they’re not alone. Bean focuses on a teenage writer who’s finally had enough of mom’s loafer boyfriend getting all the attention. Weight captures the release of daily disillusionment in one poetic moment of flight. Lollipop Man sees a crossing guard realize his calling. Me, You, A Bag, & Bamboo follows two melancholic strangers working up the courage to say hello. Backyard witnesses a hushed exchange of playthings, adolescent and adult. In Penance, a grizzled loner finds redemption tinged with tragedy in an autistic employee.
