There's not a whole lot to the short film Someone Else--but there is certainly something about it. Directed by Andrew Newall, and clocking in at the four minute mark, Someone Else is a snapshot of a paranoid woman who believes that someone else has been in her house.

Someone Else is a film of paranoia and delusions. With a running time of four minutes, the film is the shortest this site has seen, but the delivery of a somewhat obsessive compulsive personality by Karen Bartke is believable and well done.
