Visual concept

I think that a good subject would be the idea of the absent father. The visual concept would center around someone finding an old object, like their father's briefcase, that triggers the memories (or lack there of) about his father.

It starts off with the main character walking into the basement and looking for something. He comes across his father's old briefcase and looks at the label. It cuts to a past memory where the father shuts the briefcase and walks away while talking on the phone. A small child is revealed, he holds out a picture he drew for his dad. The grown boy tries to open up the briefcase and remembers another event. This continues until the boy gets frustrated and tries to pry the case open with a screwdriver, swinging violently. He opens it and discovers that it is full of his old drawings and pictures of him and his dad. He recalls all the good memories with his dad and it fades into him with his son, doing the same thing.
