This is a powerful short film which runs for about 12 minutes about a father and son, as the title suggests, who are 'penned' in by their circumstances, presumably following the loss of the mother.
Without giving too much away, both of them are struggling with the running of their sheep farm. This is a brutal commentary on loneliness, on aging and helplessness.
Told primarily through the eyes of the son, with a cast of 3, a dog and of course, the sheep, a simple problem involving a bolt becomes insurmountable. The film packs a bigger punch that the run time would lead one to believe.
