The film opens with a beautiful frame of a lovely girl sitting inside a cafe, reading. In the background, a
radio jockey is discussing the topic ‘The Rights of Man’ in his programme and making commentaries on
the causes, flaws and the future of civilisation, as though laying the groundwork for the events that
are about to unfold that evening.
It is almost midnight and a handsome stranger takes up a seat at the table
next to hers. He approaches her for a conversation. The setting is so charming, the viewer can’t help but
see it as serendipitous. As the conversation ensues, the girl's estranged lover arrives, and wreaks chaos
on the quiet. However, the girl and the stranger continue their story into the night, fulfilling the promise and the intention the film had opened on, perhaps even allowing the audience a fitting conclusion.
