Boxes explores human relationships at its mundane level- living from day to day, struggling to find that spark of commonality.

Pat, trying to break through and make contact, to involve others in her life and herself in others' existence, gets more than she bargained for. Life- existing in enclosed spaces, relating with people you don't plan to relate with, learning to relate to those you wish you could.
