I came across this film purely by accident, it was played before the real feature film starring Ewan McGregor. It is a very simple idea, McGregor is a lonely stroller minding his own business walking on the beach, and then he spots a delicious looking chocolate éclair in paper just lying on the ground. He picks it up, looking around to make sure he is alone, and the coast is clear. Being curious he has a smell of the cake, and has a little lick of the cream from his finger. So he decides since there's no-one else to claim it, he decides to eat the cake. But then, all of the sudden, the ground lifts a large rope, and his mouth is pierced by a fishing hook, and he is dragged across the sand, plunging into the ocean, to disappear under the water, oh, and his footprint indent washed away. One of the shortest films I have ever seen in my life, less than three minutes long, and even with the limited amount, it manages to make a simple film, with an unexpected moment, be quite watchable. Very good!
