VACATION follows a protagonist road tripping home from college. A sudden volcanic eruption totals his car and destroys all his possessions. Barely surviving, our destitute star builds a life for himself out of furniture that has washed up on the shore. An absurd fable on the nature of nature unfolds as he makes an unremarkable patch of beach his home.

Total runtime: 25 minutes 5 seconds
