Opening with John falling to his death out of a bedroom window we follow the story back, as loving husband Guy plays squash away from home regularly. One weekend he has a conference but, returning from a cancelled flight he finds his wife Linda in bed with John leading to his sudden demise. However from the perspective of the other players is this really the full picture?
In theory I have little problem with short, but in delivery I think it went a little wrong somewhere along the way. The plot is good and creates a nice little story that we find out more about as we see the bigger picture from the other character's perspective (kind of like TV's Boomtown). This works quite well except for the repeating viewings of mundane sections such as driving up to the house and the like. The main weakness is the lack of really strong characters - or maybe relatable characters. The film's suggestion in the final frame that this sort of complexity occurs all over the place was a fair one but I could relate to none of the characters and this kept me out of the film at times.
The animation is good but too crude for my tastes. The repeated nudity was a distraction to me. Maybe it was the cold way it was presented but I felt that the short didn't benefit from it at all. The voice work is quite good without being very distinctive and Watts' Guy stood out.
Overall a clever little story that suffers a little through the delivery - particular the adult images and the slight repetition. Still worth watching though.
