Teeth

That which is neglected is lost.

A darkly comic animated meditation on obsession, regret, and the irreversible damage wrought by misplaced priorities, told through the metaphor of a man's deteriorating teeth across a lifetime.

Things of worth are often neglected in favour of that which might be more immediately gratifying. Unfortunately, the things that are neglected are often lost forever, irreplaceable. This is the story of a man with a misguided and intense focus – one which started in his youth and carried on to old age. His life events are chronicled through the loss of his teeth – and how his obsessive efforts to amend what was damaged bring on yet further destruction.
