Royal Affairs

Germany 2018 I 15 min I Short

Ineffably powerful Supreme Beings travel through space and time to dispense gifts on randomly selected denizens of any given planet. When it comes to Earth however their selection process seems to have hit a glitch and settles on Greg, who’s been having a bad day at the office. Zapped up to the space embassy by an overwhelmingly enthusiastic Ambassador, thrilled to be in the presence of a human, Greg fails to grasp the nature and scope of his opportunity, thinking he is talking to management about about his working conditions.
