Synopsis
You don't choose to sit next to someone who spurts ink on your face, talks loudly on the phone and plays irritating music, but in the workplace, you have no choice. Or do you? This short film presents quirky characters who deftly "rewind" situations and start over when tensions get out of hand. "Elbow Room" is suitable for conflict-resolution training in the classroom and workplace, helping ensure that conflicts get resolved rather than escalate.
