Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Strings is a 1991 animated short film (10 1/2 minutes) directed by Wendy Tilby, and produced by the National Film Board of Canada.An older man and an older woman reside in the same apartment building. In fact, she lives directly above him, she on the third floor and he on the second. Both have unusual hobbies; she is constructing a model of the RMS Titanic while he plays in a string quartet.One afternoon, the woman draws a bath in her third-floor apartment while the man invites his string quartet partners in on the floor below. As it happens, there's a leak in the woman's apartment, which drips down directly onto the man's dinner table. Unfortunate consequences ensue. | |

Dream Sequence | |
| Strings / int_615fdb1f | comment |
Dream Sequence: Either that or an Imagine Spot as it's difficult to tell if the woman falls asleep. But when the woman settles in the bathtub with her Titanic toy boat, she appears to have a dream of the Titanic in all its glory, with the first class passengers ballroom dancing. | |

December–December Romance | |
| Strings / int_7886d4d0 | comment |
December–December Romance: Hinted at when the man, who has become aware of the drip, comes up to the woman's apartment with a toolbox in hand. Ultimately averted, it seems, when the chandelier below tears loose and falls in the man's apartment, just as the man is becoming aware that the problem under the bathtub is too big for him to fix. | |

Double-Meaning Title | |
| Strings / int_a4905771 | comment |
Double-Meaning Title: The string in the man's toolbox, the strings of the man's string quartet, and, seemingly, a metaphorical meaning about the ways in which people are linked together. | |
