All ears

Australia, 1998

Film Australian animation

A short claymation about an old man whose quiet ‘memory filled’ days are rudely interrupted by a pushy salesman. As the old man contently potters around his flat faintly hearing the outside world he is bombarded by the overbearing hard-sell tactics of a salesman selling hearing aids.
