The Banker

Synopsis

The banker is efficient at his job - obsessively collecting, storing and delivering deposits at the sperm bank. Donors file into their booths, fill their cups and collect their payment - while women at the fertility clinic wait in anticipation and hope for the miracle of creation.

Each day the banker delivers the donations to his beloved nurse at the fertility clinic - proud to see her satisfied with the daily quota.
Crippled by fear, he lacks the courage to ask her out. Surely there is a way he can express his devotion?

A tale of unrequited love on a grand scale.

One of Those Days One of Those Days

Director: Hattie Dalton

Year: 2010

We've all had 'one of those days' – when nothing seems to go right, when life just seems to be dealing you one poor hand after another. Unfortunately for Howard Whittam, that day is Judgment Day. <br /> <br /> Howard and his wife Jean have lived a very ordinary life. They’ve never taken drugs, overtaken on the inside lane, or run naked through a graveyard. An unkind observer might even say they were dull. But somewhere deep down, these law abiding English suburbanites believed that one day, divine justice would reward them for their propriety. But when Judgment Day does arrive, it’s a logistical disaster. Too many people, not enough staff. So when Howard finds that due to a clerical error, he has been mistaken for the genocidal maniac Vlad the Impaler, he begins a downward spiral into what seems like a never ending abyss of paper work and mindless officialdom.
