Synopsis:

Two bored office workers have found a satisfying way to get themselves through the working day. However, their routine is disrupted with the arrival of a new employee and when these indulgences get out of hand their true feelings are finally revealed.

Some Facts about the Cast & Crew:

We spent over £100 on fruit and our two leads, Sally Hawkins and David Armand, chomped their way through the lot during the two day shoot.

The idea for this film came as I was thinking about what people do to try and find meaning in their lives. I’m interested in what people fill their time with and strive for in the hope for a ‘meaningful‘ life. In this case its the work-life that our characters are trying to fulfill – with the hedonistic pusuit of pleasure taking the form of eating fruit while amassing material possesions is characterised by hoarding origami models.

What the two main characters come to realise is that these pursuits, although satisfying in the short term, are ultimately meaningless; what they do, which I find hugely exciting, is go out in search for answers…and I also love comedy…
