How many people make real contact with the person at the supermarket checkout counter? And vice versa? Cashier Olga operates on autopilot. Dressed in a pale red sweater and dark body warmer, she absently scans milk, eggs and organic products and prints off receipts.
But an unexpected event interrupts Olga’s daily routine and she suddenly come to life. Her coarse, slack face lights up. The wrinkles are still there but they tell a different story. Checkout 9 is a wordless, stop-motion Belgian film in which an ordinary character is subtly brought to life.
Checkout 9 is part of the Hodgepodge shorts block and has been selected for the FFF Short Food Film Competition 2014.
