What Is The Ride About?

The premise of The Ride without spoilers.

Gerald Potterton’s short film follows a chauffeur idling while his boss is late. On a sweltering summer afternoon he drifts into a winter daydream: the quiet residential street morphs into snowy peaks. His car becomes a toboggan, dragging the tycoon into a wild chase, complete with comic snow antics, a daring piggy‑back ride on a bewildered skier, and other unforgettable mishaps.
