Most of our crises and decision points have nothing to do with exploding buildings or manic car chases. They turn on a misunderstood word, or on the person who shows up not being the person you expected. This compact, lovely film explores what happens then: how you navigate quiet, unexpected moments on which your whole life may hinge.
The film is not just technically proficient; it is emotionally rich within the constraints of a tightly-limited palette of places and text. Small matters--the fate of a piece of popcorn, the stability of a wine glass--carry large implications for the lives of the four characters who play out overlapping stories.
