Why Don't You Dance?

Synopsis

In front of his house, in between furniture and traces of his past life, a man waits. A young couple arrives and awkward, superficial conversation takes place, but the unlikely threesome experience something deeper, something emotional. The strange encounter ends in a dance of unexpressed loneliness and despair.
