The Technician

A cable guy is called in to repair an old mans TV set. Once inside the clients home, the repairman realizes theres nothing wrong with the TV.
Rather its the images broadcasted on the screen: wars, famine, illness and kidnappings, that are broken. Moved by the clients naïve request, and against his better judgment, the cable guy will attempt to fix the problem.
