    Anyone who recalls those computer punch cards with the holes in them might get some added nostalgia value from this quirky animation. Each hole is characterised as if it could be a person or a desk in an office. There’s a door, of sorts, through which these arrive and take up their pre-assigned spaces. Then one of them starts acting up. Sometimes it appears just to be naughty, at others perhaps even a bit of a bully as it’s co-stars react in differing ways to this erratic behaviour amidst their ordinarily stable and disciplined environment. I couldn’t quite decide whether there is an in-depth meaning about rotten apples spoiling the barrel, or whether it was illustrating a reaction to the mundanity of nine-to-five existences, or even if it was just a daft piece of nimbly scored mischief making with no great purpose at all, but it has something to it that does raise a smile and it’s worth a watch.
