Laughing until you cry or crying until you're laughing? These darkly comedic shorts will keep you on your toes.
Content advisory: themes and depictions of animal harm
At a busy downtown café, a woman zones out during a business meeting. A drifting seagull hits the window. The customers notice the incident but quickly stop paying attention. The woman, too, tries to ignore the event but is unable to shake it off. She notices the seagull is still alive but greatly suffering so heads outside to euthanize the bird. Some children watch and yell at her for trying to kill the seagull. She eventually twists the bird's neck and the children move back to their games. While she buries the bird in a nearby flowerbed, her colleagues and the customers stare at her.
FÁR will be screened as a part of the SHORTS: AFTER LAUGHTER COMES TEARS package.
