Comedies love riffing on human shortcomings, and Chris de Krijger’s new short is no exception. Wide-angled shots of Rotterdam in summer present the bumbling Homo sapiens in all its splendour: a jogger who decides to rent a moped for the final leg of his run; a marriage proposal that goes horribly wrong; and a woman who counts her steps but abandons her husband during a walk. From a bird’s-eye view, we witness the insignificance – and ridiculousness – of the flawed Homo sapiens.

Life's questions are 'answered' in a series of outrageous vignettes, beginning with a staid London insurance company which transforms before our eyes into a pirate ship. Then there's the National Health doctors who try to claim a healthy liver from a still-living donor. The world's most voracious glutton brings the art of vomiting to new heights before his spectacular demise.

A mute alien with the appearance of a black human is chased by outer-space bounty hunters through the streets of Harlem.
