Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Negative Space is a 2017 animated short film (5 1/2 minutes) directed by Ru Kuwahata and Max Porter.It's an adaptation of a poem by Ron Koertge. A boy's father teaches him how to pack a suitcase correctly, how to keep everything neat and organized and avoid empty spaces. The boy considers that while other fathers and sons bonded over more masculine pastimes like sports or cars, he and his dad bonded over luggage. Finally, years later the boy's father dies, and the boy, now a grown man, has an unexpected reaction at the funeral. | |

Bait-and-Switch: The father has gone on a business trip of some sort. The shot shows a tropical beach at sunset. Then the next cut reveals that it's really a shot of the wallpaper of the father's laptop, which is sitting in what looks like a rather dingy hotel room in a city. | |
