Little Things is seven stories in one, as several seemingly unconnected characters feature in a blend of observational and surreal scenarios. Largely without dialogue, the scenarios involve sustained character-led comedy as each individual character is seen to face everyday situations that develop as only animation can. Does the dramatic event in their lives bring the characters together, or do the little things in life carry on as before?
