*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This short film is a clever little comedy about our politicians. An up and coming politician has come to town to make speeches and meet people. However, in a very weird twist, a young lady happens to be in the wrong place at the right time and sees that this charismatic man is actually a robot! And, interestingly enough, her garage door opener makes him start and stop! No one believes her at first and she tries very hard to get her ex-boyfriend to see this is true. He, on the other hand, just thinks it's an attempt by her to get back together.

The film is nice because it's so different. It's also worth seeing because it has a lot to say about the plastic-like people we so blindly vote for each election! Considering the film was made by newcomers in the film industry, it's a very good short.
