Toast

Synopsis

Ingmar lives a regimented life. Up at 7.19am each morning, he showers, dresses and prepares a very civilised breakfast. But today is different. When his toast burns it precipitates a series of events that threaten to wreck his perfectly synchronised daily routine. A sharp little existential comedy of errors.
