You can watch this short film on the YouTube channel Brian And Karl in a video called How English Sounds To Non-English Speakers:
What Is It About?
This is how The IMDb describes this short film:
A couple’s special meal is ruined when underlying tensions surface.
A study of the role of language in communication.
An ordinary conversation between a young couple at dinner one evening takes a turn for the worse and ends in fireworks.
Turning the tables on both the clichéd and the familiar, Skwerl strips away sense to expose the very language of communication itself.
