“There is subtle use of lighting to contrast the colourful yet drab bedsit with a sunlit swimming pool and Harkin keeps things admirably simple in this uplifting short” – Film4 Review

Marty is a reckless young dad, who shirks his parental responsibilities for the sake of partying. When left alone with his 4-month-old baby, he has a moment of stoner inspiration involving the Nirvana album cover of a swimming baby, a rubber duckie, and just the right amount of weed.
