So, when it comes to the accent it was rather easier than usual for me because it was the Australian accent :P
So the "lost" things in the short film are a symbol of any kinds of things we all used to use earlier in life and then abandoned. They get "lost" because our hobbies or interests will be different as we grow up and end up chucking away those things. I remember, in the film, the man walks along the seaside and finds a huge robot thing and he seems friendly, which implies that any "things" could still be used in some ways. They could never be rubbish.
Alright this is pretty much it...!
