'Cca Milis' is a 2001 Irish short film starring Charlotte Bradley and Brendan Gleeson.

Plot



An exhausted business woman named Catherine is sitting on a train reading a romantic novel. It is established that this is the only time in the day where she has time for herself, as she is otherwise caring for her aging mother. A blind man with asthma called Pl sits across from her. He proceeds to annoy her and prevent her from reading her book in peace by making loud noises, asking peculiar questions and telling inane stories. When Catherine gets sick of Pl constantly annoying her, she begins to taunt and confuse him. Eventually, she tells him that a piece of the sweet cake that he is eating has a worm in it. When she tells him this he panics and begins to suffer from an asthma attack. He attempts to find his inhaler on the table, but Catherine quietly takes it and hides it from Pl. As he suffocates, she places the inhaler back down on the table just out of his reach. Pl slumps over in his seat as Catherine disembarks from the train.
