    • Synopsis
    • The holiday drama short film is set in the 1930s in a remote town that has been forgotten. A stranger drops in unannounced and causes turmoil to the mundane lives of the townspeople. In their paranoia they tie him up and accuse him of murder, then call in the local retired Psychologist to analyze what to do.

      Once his patients, these townspeople hover over the discussion between the Dr and the Stranger --- this is what makes up most of this film. Until the end, when the tables are turned, and we learn, it is the Dr, who is guilty for causing all this darkness, to the townspeople. .. and the stranger becomes the saviour.
