A study in cinematographic depression courtesy of Yannick Nolan! It’s raining cats and dogs and the radio warns more is coming. Claude (Carmen Sylvestre), a 70-year-old trans sits in a gloomy apartment on a computer chasing down a lamp offered by Anne on Facebook marketplace. Claude jumps to a conclusion a deal has ben reached and heads off to a shower and primping up for his trip to pick up the lamp but returning to his computer has been told it has been sold to his moral outrage under the impression the transaction had been completed.
A horrific “accident” is threatened and suddenly Anne will deliver the lamp. As she arrives at the door with a companion yet another murder is highly possible and it won’t be pleasant being beaten to death by a baseball bat. But there’s nothing like a pot of tea and freshly baked orange cookies to digest what has just happened and it all ends up in the basement with all of Claude’s other mementos! How potentially grisly
