D has plenty of time on his hands. He could be doing all sorts of things… but generally he isn’t doing very much. Disillusioned with just about everything around him, he takes solace in gangsta rap and bags of family sized crisps… and texting.

The Value of Hard Work
Dur: 18:26

Jonathan Bream leads a dull life in a meaningless job, shuffling and stapling paper for a living. Kept in place by a loathsome Manager with a fake tan and a penchant for motivational chats, Jonathan brings colour to his life in unconventional ways including obsessively writing online reviews for everyday household products. He begins to relish his regular stationary orders as he finds a friend in Kate, the voice on the end of the phone, and his crush on her proves to be a much needed escape route.
