The short film is a comedy focused on the music. The feel is very upbeat for most of it, With even the beginning which has no musical backing, Using emphasised sounds, to create a kind of music. This shows from the beginning that the film is going to be sound orientated. the film is about a elderly couple, Who seem to have lived in the same house ofr a while. the Mis en scene has several things typical of an elderly persons house, little figurines collected over the years, Show that this couple have a long past. before the music is playing, Their roles are seperated, and whilst she is working hard, He is relaxing and reading the paper. When he puts the music on she joins him, Which signifys that this music has some sort of importance to the duo. She wishes for him to dance, And tries to make advancements towards him, However he does not want to, he wants to read his paper. This obviously upsets her, and the music uses this. However the serious argument between them is made comical because of the use of the music.

The mixture between music and comedy is not one often used in film in modern times. The use of a classic jazz piece has changed this film a lot, as instead of music being applied to film, their is film being applied to music, This means that the plot of the film revolves around what the music allows them to do.

In comparison to other short films, This film is very short, And tells the story of a women that wants a pot fixed by her husband, The very short plot gives the film another way to be funny since the way the music has been made to simulate an arguement seems like avery serious matter, although it is really rather trivial.
