Father's Day for Mr. Saul

Video, 2012

This was part of Mr. Saul's Digital Utopia, shot over 26 Sundays in 2012.

TEXT:

On Father's Day, it is the privilege for a son to present his father with breakfast in bed. This breakfast must  consist of coffee, toasted white bread topped with crunchy peanut butter, and a piece of normal fruit, an orange or a banana, not one of those unorthodox fruits from an undemocratic jungle country such as the kiwi, the pomegranate, or the zucchini. A gift of a tie, with price tag and receipt included for tax files, follows. A boy demonstrates his knowledge of manhood through his choice of the tie, so you must follow up the gift with a report card critiquing his selection. This way, he will know he is becoming a man. If you have only a daughter, there is no point in celebrating father's day.
