My friend Antony sent me this delightful short film, starring one of Britain’s foremost actors, Tim Spall.
Set in the near future, Spall plays Nigel, a lonely and bitter widower. Retreating into a life of alcolholism, and determined to be alone, Nigel happens across a small robot that befriends him.
With a short running time of just thirteen minutes, and a delightful twist at the end, this is high-quality film-making that will leave everyone feeling better for watching it.

The robot could never have known about the importance of it, if he had not been programmed by the daughter. š
