Short Film

Synopsis:

Begins in an office, bankers working. Jason is the boss, a strict one. He revises everyone’s work done at the end of the day. He finds that Tommy hasn’t done anything, so he starts to discuss with him. In the end, mocking him, he fires him. Tommy goes to a bar, starts drinking, and in the next scene he goes back to his flat (poor area) and tells his wife that he has been fired, and the wife starts crying, while showing Tommy that there has been a card sent to them saying that they owe money or their house will be mortgaged. They fight between them because the wife knows that they will not be able to pay; Tommy says it will all work; wife says: no, it’ll never work. Never. The wife leaves the flat. Tommy does his tie, in front of the mirror. Grabs the gun. Leaves.
