His plan changes when he figures out his girlfriend isn't actually into plumbers and wants to break up with him. He then realizes that in order to find his one true love, s/he needs to embrace plumbing and win in an honest way.

Bobo is a typical rhesus monkey who really wants juicy grapes. In order to achieve this goal, he does everything his trainers ask of him.

Billy Bob Joe is a typical Ohio farmer who really wants to buy some new beer. In order to achieve this goal, he works all day, living the land using his John Deer tractor.

Tjibbes is a typical Swede who really wants to get out of the icy Scandinavian climate. In order to achieve this goal, he sells everything to buy a Malaysian Airlines plane ticket. His plan changes when his flight is kidnapped by angry Iraqis. He then realizes that in order to save his fellow passengers, he needs to defeat the terrorist leader in a best-of-3, loser-dies, rock-paper-scissors duel.

This story would make a hilarious film! It mixes both a serious and grave setting with a humorous twist at the end. I don't really think there is a lot of deep meaning or anything in this, but it would be a really fun short film to make. -Alain

Josh is a typical black cat who really wants to just belong. In order to achieve this goal, she works all day, trying hard to play hard to get with her owner. Her plan changes when a new cat arrived, all white and pretty and with a better name. She then realizes that in order to survive, she needs to somehow prove her superiority through combat and win the affection of her owner.

How would you film this? I'm not sure it would be that easy to make a cat act and behave in the way you want it to. -Alain
