this nice little flick takes place inside a crosswalk traffic light and is about the stick figure inside that tells everyone when to walk. it turns out that the little guy has dreams of his own just like everyone else despite his mundane task of repeatedly posing as someone walking.his personality creates unexpected problems with silly results, but the whole time, the viewer starts to admire his pluck. being an individiual though has consequences.despite the symbolic nature of the character, it's easy to root for him and by the end of the film he becomes a friend to the viewer.this is an amazing & surprising film that tells a totally compelling story with nothing but body language and is a very rare treat in a world of short subjects that wish that had this one's heart.this short totally delivers the goods for people of all ages.
