Among the nominees at this year’s Academy Awards is the humble, independent animatedshort filmRetirement Plan. Directed by Irish filmmaker John Kelly, Domhnall Gleeson narrates as Ray, a middle-aged man who lists the things that he will do once he retires, with the film showing his successes and failures. As has often been the case at the Oscars, the biggest impact can come from an unlikely source. Amid the big-budget dramas and ambitious epics hoping for awards glory, it’s this modest exploration of life that leaves you with the most to think about. Better still, it’s free to watch online now.
