Two characters discover an interesting new object that teaches them a lot about themselves and what it means to share. This little animated parable is so simple yet so poignant, with just the two characters and the objects on a stark white background. It’s the well developed storyline and comical interactions that make this short work so wonderfully, complimented by a great soundtrack. Packs so much about human behavior into 5 minutes it is hard to fathom.
