Homebody
USA 11 min.
A young couple responds to the economic crisis by moving into a retirement home, where they can get so much more for half of what they pay in the city! “They can take away our middle years, but they can’t take away our final years.” This short satire follows the couple as they balance their retirement home lifestyle (aerobics classes, theme parties, visits from nurses, watching Dick van Dyke) with their day jobs. Unfortunately, their plan goes horribly wrong when the young man has too much to drink during American House Swing Night and chaos ensues. The banished couple then moves on to “Plan B”.
