Plot Summary<\/strong>: The animated short film \u201cSnack Attack<\/a>\u201d wordlessly portrays an elderly woman inside a train station. After struggling with a vending machine to purchase a packet of cookies, she puts them in her purse and then heads outside to wait for her train. She sits on a bench next to a teenager then picks up the packet of cookies next to her and begins eating the cookies. The teenager next to her, who is texting and listening to music, puts his hand on the packet of cookies. Shocked, she grabs the packet and puts it on her lap where the teenager then reaches for another cookie. She becomes angry and tries to get the cookie back. The teenager rips it in two, offering her a piece. She crumbles it right in front of him then boards her train. Angrily settling into her seat, she opens her purse only to find the packet of cookies she had purchased from the vending machine. She realizes then that she had taken the teenager\u2019s cookies, thinking they were her own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
