African Office Worker

2017 · 1 season

A deadpan two-minute burst of absurd animal-office misery, dryly funny and over before it can wear thin.

Overview: A lion, toucan and lizard live the lives of office workers in a capitalist society in Japan, while also dealing with their unique situations as animals living beyond the savanna and the food chain.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, cynical and melancholic. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Work, isolation, class, identity
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
