Like so many "shorts" these days, this is a pointless, plot less film (at least from the viewpoint of the viewer) that while interesting, goes nowhere. It's set in a dystopian future, the plot is as thin and sparse as the countryside. The settings and characters show promise but there is no cause, reason, protagonist, hero, anti-hero, explanation or resolution. It's not a slice-of-life, a quest, relationship drama, or anything decipherable. It doesn't even qualify as abstract surrealism save for the makeup of characters that could benefit from a little more depth.
There's no reason for a short film leading nowhere. One can't say, "We only had 15 minutes to do this." Commercials can tell an entire story in 30 seconds. This is just a typical waste-of-time film that had some potential but -- as is becoming more and more common in this everyone-has-a-videophone age-- blows it all by failing to start with a decent plot and script.
This could have been so much better if the director had simply let the audience in on what was going through his mind. The reason I give it 3 stars rather than 2 is because of the humorous and interesting 'horse and buggy' contrivance as well as the look of the main camp. Beyond that all that's left is contrivance, nothing of interest here, move along, move along.
