Confection (2003) is a delicious short film about a little girl who learns empathy from a pastry.

Frustrated by a long wait for her tardy boyfriend, a young woman is unsatisfied by the candle he sheepishly offers in retribution, then sulks at the armfuls of roses he snaps up from a deli. Her brooding evaporates at the turn of a corner, when she and her ruefully silent companion are confronted by a wall adorned with flyers depicting people still regarded as missing after the September 11th terrorist attacks.

A little girl is very disobedient. Maybe grandfather can take care of her.

Meet Becky and Donna, a nice lesbian couple with a home in the suburbs, who run a family business cleaning up murder scenes.
