The Unplugged Son (S)

After many years of travelling, Adrian arrives to dad’s birthday dinner. The family welcomes Adrian but pretend not to notice the tattoos he has got in his face during his travel. All family members draw electric plugs from their backs and plug them to points. A lamp lights for everyone in the ceiling chandelier, except for Adrian, who’s lamp twinkles. The confused family stares at him and Adrian feels like an outsider. The family gets even more confused when Adrian gives a weird sculpture to dad as a birthday gift. During the dinner Adrian escapes inside the sculpture. In the world of the sculpture he meets his dad as a tree being, who wipes off Adrian’s tattoos and gives him an adapter to his electric plug. Back at the birthday dinner table Adrian puts the adapter between the plug and the point and his lamp lights. He gets in contact with his family again, but loses something of himself in return.
