Description

This short film is part of the Revisionaries Short Program.

At first glance, Paul is always good for a laugh. He’s got a joke for every situation, or so it seems. A quirk of a catastrophic head injury, Paul’s waggishness no longer impresses his wife Lindsay. Filmmaker Hannah Currie asks where love goes once the jokes turn sour. Eileen Arandiga
