Luke (Stephen Manderson) is Ethel's carer, as the old lady suffers from Alzheimer's disease and can no longer care for herself. And at first look, he does a pretty decent job seeiing to the woman's needs. Thing is, he owes money to drugdealer Jack (Elijah Baker), money he just doesn't have. So he gives Jack a tip-off on how to break into Ethel's flat and where she hides her money - information Jack puts to good use. But things aren't always as black and white as they seem ...

A rather impressive short, one that manages to tell a rather multi-layered story that repeatedly changes perspective in a mere 15 minutes, and it's also a film that, despite its social concerns, doesn't drive its message home but concentrates on fine, inventive storytelling. And a direction that finds a good balance between stark realism and cinematic artistry, and a very solid cast help make this a pretty good watch,
