Wander - Animated Short Film
Tom Laflin for The Veteran
The Veteran is an elderly war veteran with no family left after the loss of his son, Tommy. He has a gruff exterior, but he's a big softie on the inside. Once he see's Chris lose his toy while navigating the market, he just knows he has to help!
(Huffing and puffing after running through the market)
I'm so sorry, ma'am! Your son dropped his toy. I just wanted to give it back.
(Speaking to Chris while returning Ube, the toy robot)
I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to get your friend back to you safely. I lost someone a long time ago and know how tough the world can be without them.
(Referring to his missing friend, his late son Tommy, to Chris)
His name was Tommy. (Chuckling) But he wasn't a robot. You know, you remind me of him in many ways.
