    Whilst a loudly coughing beggar (a bit like Ron Moody in "Oliver!" from 1968) wanders in and out, a pompous looking, cigar-smoking, businessman sits in a rather dilapidated Parisian café having a coffee only to discover that he's left his wallet somewhere. Rather than own up, he orders another coffee, and another, and another... Then a nun takes a seat beside him and on a trip to the toilet leaves her bag behind. Our now highly-caffeinated gent tries to pilfer from it, but events conspire against him and then he realises that maybe she wasn't a nun after all, indeed maybe none of these people are who they seem! There's virtually no dialogue to this entertaining short animation that amusingly invites us never to judge a book by it's cover.
