In this student film, a single father has to choose between an overbearing boss and impossible job and being there for his son. It's a bit oversimplified, and I hope an exaggeration of any workplace environment, but it makes a point about remembering what is most important. Nicely shot. Good images and sound. Performances by the actors portraying the father and son are pretty good though the secondary characters are unrealistic. Observing the father and son in their make-believe world, juxtaposed against the angst they are both experiencing in real life can't help but lead you to examining your own life situation.

A single father battles the imaginary with his son, but combats the pressures of the workplace on his own.
