while well-made, this short lacks a final turnaround. not only that but the story spirals downward without purpose other than to spiral downward.
a man gets fired due to a misunderstanding involving a porn site. then he accidentally kills his dog, and his wife leaves him due to a misunderstanding with the aforementioned dog.
he goes to live with his parents, but each time he is so miserable he wants to die, there is a misunderstanding and he looks like a pervert.
finally he succeeds in killing himself, but a necrophiliac has his way with him at the morgue.
in short it's the story of a man who is unlucky at every turn. there is nothing to redeem the story, or give a sense of closure. in the end he finally dies, but the film's not done torturing him.
it's not the unhappy ending, it's that there's no punchline to make it work.
