A husband and wife work out the ways that his Parkinson's has changed their life together.

Oliver says, 鈥淚 chose to create a film for Paul and Annette鈥檚 conversation because I really enjoyed the parallels between Paul鈥檚 pessimistic outlook and Annette鈥檚 optimistic approach to the disease. I also thought it was great to show that Parkinson鈥檚, while being a terrible disease, is not the end of your life and I think Paul and Annette really pay testament to this. I was inspired by silhouette puppet shows and I thought it would be quite interesting to experiment with live action actors against a green screen on a 2D digital background. I enjoyed Paul鈥檚 line about not being able to use chopsticks and Annette鈥檚 response, 鈥楥hopsticks aren鈥檛 essential to life鈥�. This really sums up the whole mood of the conversation and gave me the idea of setting the film in an Asian cuisine restaurant - as if the conversation was taking place over dinner.鈥�
