Small Worlds

Description:

Small Worlds is a triptych of portraits of individuals seeking unexpected ways to escape from them selves and the banality of the world in which they live.

In the first film an office worker takes a midnight break from the monotony of his job at an all-night call centre by hiding in a secret world he has created for himself in a redundant store-cupboard. But his peace is disturbed by a noisy co-worker.

In the second film a middle-aged woman escapes from herself by dancing alone in the dark. When the music stops and the lights comes on, she slips back into the trappings of her ordinary life, only to be rescued by the interruption of magical piece of urban nature.

In the last part of the triptych a redundant city worker in his 60s takes a night bus into the 4am ghost town of London's financial centre. Once there he lets himself into his old office and climbs onto the roof. There above the clouds he sets up the tools he needs to conjure up the dawn, and like a conductor he imagines he is responsible for the tuning up of the city as it works its self up for another busy day.
