Five men live together in a small flat. They coordinate their routines from yoga in the morning, dressing, through to personal grooming; they even work together on a written plan of an afternoon in a Parisian square. This is essentially the plot and it is delivered with a playful tone that suits the odd material. Although there is a specific finish, most of the film really doesn't lead towards it per se, so instead it is very much about the delivery of the intertwining men and their actions. In some ways there is a certain pleasure to this, and it is fun to see them not only be coordinated, but also struggling to work on it and improve it; as an idea it is odd and has potential.

After 7 or 8 minutes of this though, it did start to sag a little bit, and it was not as lively or snappy as it could have been. The coordination is engaging and has a good flow to it in terms of movement and dialogue, but not in a very snappy way that the music and lightness of the film suggested. While I liked it for what it does, the majority of the film does feel like something that is a work-in-progress, that they were working with ideas in motion rather than everything fleshed out, rehashed and agreed. The punch-line doesn't totally fit with the rest of the film in terms of tone, but it is a nice reveal and it adds to the absurdity of what had gone before.

This short does have a nice flow and a good conclusion, and this carries it even though it does lack the snap and wit that the idea really needed to be fully functional.
