Adam (1992)

Plot

God shapes Adam from clay and places him on a desolate planet, where every small action—standing, barking, sleeping—needs divine assistance. As Adam realizes the planet's limitations and God's refusal to let him explore beyond, he spirals into loneliness and despair. Sensing Adam's plight, God promises to create a companion. Excited, Adam prepares for the arrival of his new friend, wearing a bow tie, freshening up with mouthwash, and gathering flowers. The question lingers: does God share Adam’s vision for companionship? Preserved by the Academy Film Archive, this story explores creation, isolation, and hope.
