When a chance theft dispossesses a man of his phone and memories, an unexpected connection forms between victim and thief, setting off a quiet, emotional journey that questions fate, identity, and the invisible threads that tie us all together.

The Stall follows a lone bin man, who loses his all-important litter picker, while hopelessly collecting rubbish off the streets. In this state of continuous misery, he suddenly encounters a lone woman. Their shared struggles lead them on a path of self-exploration of what it really means to live.

In a world where we are overstimulated with political ideology from all sides, the option to disengage is becoming a more favourable option. The name-less protagonist in this short is on a venture of making the decision whether to engage or disengage.
