Final Idea

 A homeless man, who used to be an engineer, living in dystopian Hong Kong finds an old vintage camera in a dumpster. When he brings it back to his shed and tries to use it, he realises that he can see a utopian world (a parallel universe). He then builds a weird projector, in hopes of being able to jump into the new universe.

Possible Idea 2

Magical Faucette

-A man buys a new house and gets a warning saying the house is connected to its owners. 

Then one day he finds out that this washroom sink is connected to him. So when the sink faucet is turned on he then starts feeling like he wants to pee and starts peeing his pants. He is confused what to do and doesn't do anything.

 

Option 1 - He has a house gathering and everyone is having a normal day with conversations going. One of the guests decides to go to the toilet and he realises this too late and has to stop the guest from using the faucet. 

 

Option 2 - He goes to work, but all of a sudden he feels like peeing because as he left his home, he left the faucet dripping. So this would mean he would have to go through a struggle to not pee his pants

 

Later needs to find out how to stop this faucet.
