Squeegee

A business woman makes an erotic connection with the cute window washer outside. Before long, they’re sharing a kiss, even though the window glass divides them. Her meetings are delayed as they share an epic mutual masturbation session. But is there a future for them?

This beautifully made short film isn’t explicit but it doesn’t shy from arousing the viewer. The connection between the two main characters is electric, as is the encounter they share. The glass serves as a handy way of keeping things “anonymous” so that they’re able to open up and be sexual with each other. It also offers a chance to ramp up the absurdity of the moment, with squashed faces and smeared bodily fluids.

…When you’re having one of these “flings,” I have found that it can actually be easier to express how wild you are about a person… because you both know that you can never end up together. So that’s the glass between these two characters.

Director Morgan Krantz, Short of the Week

The man playing the window washer actually does that job in real life. He’s a Scottish immigrant who befriended the director and inspired him to make the film in the first place.
