Search for a command to run...
A futuristic experience from director Sam Thompson.
Walter is a boring man and has lived a boring life. He lives alone in an apartment he's had for fifteen years. He renews his leave every year on the fifteenth of August. A date that is coming up soon. Unbeknownst to Walter, his life will hold great value to some, and to others, it will mean as much as anything else.
The short's main characters are Simone - a young and ambition-less unemployed man, and the titular Djinn - an ancient and powerful genie that is reduced to grant wishes in a small suburban office. The first of the two wishes for a job, whereas the second only wishes to steal as many wishes as possible to his "customer", to obtain as many years of life for himself. Both characters are running from a crisis: Simone from the economic depression, and the Djinn from a crisis of the imagination that is perhaps a direct consequence of the first.
