Splitting

2023 · 12 min

A quiet, observant short that turns a simple take-out order into a tense, revealing look at friendship and money.

Overview
That night, Jesper and Rein wanted to go to Tessa's party. They have just played sports and are exhausted, Rein has been hit especially hard (he thinks), and therefore has an incredible appetite for Peking Duck from his favourite Chinese restaurant. Jesper doubts as he is a bit short on cash (as he has been for decades). This exposes a skewed dynamic in their friendship.
