good short film

I watched this on channel 4 late in the morning not expecting much, but as a short film it is definitely worth a watch, as you see the main character wrestle with his past and his future.

The main point of the film is possibly that your success does not mean your happiness, but watch to find out what I mean.9/10.

Plus its Scottish and the unknown actors (some) may have a bright future ahead of them.

The main jist of the story is about an old 'successful' person who has a mental breakdown and finds himeslf working in a furniture store trying to fit in, finding friendship and also a break from expectancy from someone as smart as himself.
