Tale
KJ and Dan are having trouble communicating. After a few years of a strained relationship, a couple takes a weekend trip to a friend’s cabin to rekindle their romance… only to find a dying, but not quite dead, mouse trapped in their glue. They disagree on how to handle it: KJ advocates a quick death, while Dan suggests making the mouse’s final moments as pleasant as possible. The pair compromise and continue their journey, slowly finding their way back to each other in this idyllic setting. Unfortunately, their serenity is shattered by the arrival of a petite woman who can charitably be described as “eccentric” – she’s their host’s younger sister and had no idea anyone was staying at the family cabin. It’s okay if she falls over, right? As the couple struggles to juggle this distraction on top of their already strained dynamic, KJ and Dan begin to worry that this unwelcome third wheel may threaten more than just their relationship…
