The Business Trip

2008 · 10 min Comedy
5.1 / 10 · TMDB

A business man in his 30s, with an expense account, checks into a hotel, exchanging smiles and pleasantries with the desk clerk, a woman of beauty and style. Once in his room, he listens again to a voice message on his cell phone: his lover tells him she is breaking up with him; he is not spontaneous; she has found someone else; don't call. He throws his phone down. When he reaches beneath the bed to retrieve it, he finds a Polaroid photograph of a partially nude woman posed provocatively; it includes a phone number and a sexual question. He opens a beer and stares at the photo. If he calls, what then?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedic premise from a sparse set of details, relying on impeccable timing and expressive performances to find humor in quiet desperation. Every glance and silence is charged with meaning.

What lingers after the final frame is a witty, precise observation of male fantasy and insecurity, delivered as an elegant short. The absurdity feels both universal and intimately personal. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Sean Ellis
