The Film

Escape is a short film about an agoraphobic man named Marvin and his hamster, Boris. Marvin dreams of traveling the world with Boris one day but cannot even bring himself to step outside and grab the morning paper. But alas, there is at least one way to see the world without leaving your living room... the miracle of travel television!
