The Host

(UK 2003, 11 mins)

---

The host’s home has been descended upon by a group of uninvited guests. He tries his best to hold onto himself until making an abominable acquaintance. As they get to know each other it transpires that they share more in common than the host would care to admit. A disturbed comedy.
