It's interesting that this is the third on a set of Priestley's DVD compilation "Relative Orbits" considering all of them have had a lot of voice built into the sound, unlike "Fighting Gravity" which had more of a dancing-like beat to them without voice.
I'm not sure I care for Priestley's work with voice.
This short is one of those explorations of the silliness of relationships and how emotionally crazy, to the point of absurdity, they can get. Two very roughly humanoid shapes change color as they go through their various emotions of loving, leaving, despairing, and loving again.
It seems a general trope of independent animation. I'm pretty sure I've seen the same sort of story done by Mike Judge, Don Hertzfeldt, and with sexual twists in the Spike and Mike series and the like.
But it's still fun to watch, so it's not completely ridiculous. Look for the dog, its a great character.
