In a fancy Parisian Café, an uptight businessman discovers he forgot to bring his wallet and bides his time by ordering more coffee.

This is a wonderful and funny short film about mistakes and kindness,
as a customer in a French cafe forgets his wallet,
a homeless man begs for money, and a criminal is sought after.

This short is being considered for an Oscar nomination.
