    Short and superb

    The best comment I can make about this short film is that the whole audience including myself were laughing almost from beginning to end, and applauded at the end. This is a great piece of work, once it starts it goes on and on to complete a full circle, and that's all I'll say about the story because you have to see the events that happen in it to believe it. A very amusing and well done film.

    An interesting coincidental short.

    A woman leave her house to buy cigarettes, but accidently locks herself out. She goes to the cigarette machine, and her only coin gets stuck in there. She leaves the scene frustrated. Then a lady nearby hears the coin drop. She picks up the coin. Then the coincidental chain of events start to unfold, including a lottery draw that is disrupted, and an escaping lover who jumps into a police bust. It all eventually goes full circle.
