LITTLE DADDY 

A short fiction film about 7 year-old Marie, who experiences her first bout of anger.

Marie is to spend the weekend with her dad. She waves goodbye to her mother, and walks through town with her dad. They are only together for a few minutes, when her dad meets up with a friend and indulges in a lengthy conversation. Meanwhile, Marie's patience is being so severely tried, that she resorts to a disappearing act, and follows a nearby winding staircase to the top of a tower. She expects her dad to come looking for her, but he only keeps on talking. Marie's anger builds up...
