Lorna (Tia Baum) is walking home from a party, and the longer she walks and the more she sobers she realizes she's not passing through the best parts of town. Only a few blocks away, a homeless man (Jason Leighfield) roams the same streets, screaming at everyone and no one, carrying a pitchfork - so not exactly one would love to run into. Lorna is unaware of him yet when she happens upon a pop-up gallery that's still open, and out of curiosity more than anything else, she stumbles in - and gets totally engrossed in a picture the gallerist (Deanna Little) tells her is the most dangerous painting in the world, which why she only hangs it up the wrong way round. Of course, once the gallerist's out of sight, Lorna turns the painting around and ... well, she leaves the gallery in a hurry, bumping into the homeless man ...

A quite enjoyable short, this, as it marries in the best possible way old-fashioned short story storytelling techniques with strong visuals and refrains from explaining things away so its finale can achieve maximum effect. And the three actors in the movie are really up to the task, with especially Tia Baum, who has the strongest character ark, really grounding things. Of course though, this isn't a film for everyone, but if you're into the slightly bizarre and are able to suspend your disbelief slightly for the sake of a good story, you're sure to find yourself well-entertained.
