This short won an Academy Award for Animated Short. There will be spoilers ahead:
This is an interesting short. It's rather minimalist in nature, with the backgrounds and design limited to only that which is necessary to tell the story. An old man comes into a bar, a box under his arm. He goes to the bar, sits down and orders a drink. People come up to the old man, trying to find out what's in the box, they offer the old man drinks and other bribes, even occasionally resorting to tricks, only to be disappointed.
Finally, a woman who also has a box under her arm comes in and sits down next to the old man. They have something in common and make an arrangement satisfactory to them both, departing the bar together.
The ending of this is beautiful and perfect. The short has been available for viewing online and is worth seeking out. Most recommended.
