The Kiss
Synopsis
Wilfred Funai is an office worker who spends his days pushing papers, being taunted by the office bullies, and longingly sneaking peeks at an inviting piece of chocolate. An unexpected event forces Wilfred to break out of his unremarkable life to perform a heroic act and save another human being’s life. In this black and white Jacques Tati-esque homage to a laconic anti-hero, Gotanda references one of the most tragic periods in San Francisco history.
