Plot Summary:A stop-motion animated short taking a light-hearted look at the grind of daily routine. Its main characters are a husband and wife who are leading a seemingly ideal suburban life. But is everything really as perfect as it seems? The animators used mechanized tin figurines set in brightly colored, saturated tin surroundings emulating quaint suburbia. The characters are attached to the ground and move in predetermined courses (grooves and tracks set in the ground), expressing the repetition of their lives.
当清晨第一缕阳光洒向小镇，随着闹钟声响起，上班族约翰（Dave Foley 配音）准时起床。他坐在餐桌前阅读当天的报纸，自顾自讨论着大小局势，根本不关心妻子说的话。吃过早点后他和妻子简吻别，出门与邻居打招呼，驾驶汽车去公司。他马上就能获得升职的机会，为此努力工作，不得闲暇。而在家的另一边，简渴望倾诉，渴望减压，无论她如何表达，却丝毫得不到丈夫的回应。好像她生来就是为了照顾丈夫的起居，完全没有自由一般。 也许约翰认为这样的生活很好，但是总会有不如意的事情出现，让他措手不及……
