realIty check [Total running time for all three short films: 86 mins.]<br />
Is there a right and wrong? Is there only black and white and no gray? Is what you see really what you get?<br />
These shorts may prove that there are no definitives when it comes to reality, and any sense that you can make<br />
out of the known may not make sense at all. Is this the beauty of amended reality or the ugliness of a society<br />
full of pressure and social mores? If a mime interrupts a couple’s leisurely drive, is it reality and, if so, whose?<br />
Can a woman protect a small village or is the reality that only a man can? Is a father’s love for his daughter<br />
discounted when she is made privy to his reality?<br />

Jakob is really a woman, but the superstitious villagers are<br />

on a lonely farm. One day Jakob takes on Tom at the farm.<br />
Tentatively, the two come closer. The villagers are not at all<br />
happy about this development. A friendship has to be avoided<br />
at all costs.<br />
