In a bakery, two slices of flan of unequal appearance sit on the counter; a customer has one goal - to leave with the most appetising one - but the unpredictable queue seems determined to thwart his plans.

A two-minute film about pastry selection that somehow becomes a meditation on desire, scarcity, and collective chaos—this is exactly the kind of premise that sounds stupid until you realize it's brilliantly stupid, which is the only kind worth making.
Nablag situates this work in a lineage of Tati-esque social comedy, where the formal precision of the queue and the geometry of the bakery counter become instruments of controlled absurdism rather than mere backdrop.
The choice to stage the entire conflict in profile—keeping both flans visible throughout, making the customer's visual assessment the architecture of every beat—transforms what could be sketch comedy into something genuinely propulsive with minimal means.
