Let us imagine a warehouse full of machinery, conveniently arranged to feature a few chairs and some tables – sitting at them, we have a couple and two spectators/trainers that direct their acting. None of them knows how to act, but they are guided by the situation: they must attract the attention of someone, to make them linger a little while longer at a restaurant table, while in the background, someone is pulling some strings. She is enthusiastic, but he’s coming across like a plank of wood and cannot enter the role. All sorts of attempts are being made to loosen him up, even a scared dog is thrown into the mix, and he barely moves an inch. It’s probably the most enchanting portrait of a misanthrope that I’ve seen in a long time.
