Synopsis
A little party in a flat; an older couple and a young man. The relationships are initially unclear but there are signs that this seemingly relaxed affair is tinged with melancholy. An encounter over wine and savoury snacks and a few anecdotes from a distinguished orchestral musician open old wounds, but also bring unexpected relief. This carefully punctuated, site-specific microdrama was shot and produced by the Alfred Bouriana Film Company without any official funding; the entire crew also waived their fees.
