Smith's Landlord

In the chaotic domestic world of the Smith family, the primary antagonist isn't a villain, but the sheer, inexplicable magnetism of their infant child. Smith's Landlord follows a young couple whose domestic bliss is upended when their baby starts attracting a literal parade of livestock from a neighboring farm into their pristine rental. The landlord, a man of rigid standards and short temper, views the resulting menagerie as a personal affront, leading to a swift and unceremonious eviction. After a grueling search for a new home, the Smiths believe they have found sanctuary, only to discover that the long arm of coincidence has placed them back under the thumb of their original tormentor. The film culminates in a desperate, Prohibition-era peace offering involving a 'mysterious refreshment' in a dark closet, transforming a property dispute into a drunken brotherhood.
