I didn’t see this game until catching up on Kottke a minute ago. One of the perils of great art is that you can’t really talk about it without taking something away from the experience of someone who hasn’t seen it yet. Fortunately, this is the web, and I can just link you to it with a recommendation: I strongly suggest you download and install this game, and play it all the way through. It takes 5 minutes.
Awesome game that teaches you about life in 5 minutes
