The Review: A businessman is called out to a home for seniors to try to talk his father out of an awkward situation: he's locked himself in a closet and refuses to come out. The set-up is curious; the family members that wander by to try their hand at the problem, even more so. It turns out there's a very good reason for hiding out.

Danish.

One of the 2006 Academy Award nominees for live action short feature; others included The Saviour, One Too Many, Binta and the Grand Idea and West Bank Story.
