UNCOMPLETED
At the start of the film, the director films a scene of the protagonist awakened in bed but too lazy to move. This is meant to enhance the fact that he has nothing better to do than just to wait for time to catch up with him, to dully follow the everydays of life itself.
He then slowly gets out of bed and the director slowly plays through his boring lifestyle, washing up before his day, straightening his tie, eyes glazing over in the bus, a long distance to the top of the escalator, where he spends his time staring into nowhere.
Finally the director shows a clip of a business woman traveling down the opposite escalator and some embarrassment and blush colours his eyes and face. He looks at her and back down quickly to show the fact that he has taken some interest in the woman. Momentarily, the viewers will be interested in knowing how this random occurrence with a woman would turn out.
Later on, the director then films him walking boredly through the crowd along the street again with nothing on his mind, a lonely and sorrowful face. He arrives at the entrance of his department and hesitates and he looks around and observes how his surrounding seems busy and slightly more excited than he is feeling then. He then sighs and continues his walk.
The character sits down at his table with another sigh and thinks of something to do. He then walks to the printer room and watches the papers photocopied one by one, colour in his eyes as if that could be an exciting thing for him. The numerous one after another activities manage to build tension and allows the viewers time to imagine what would happen in the end and how the story would turn out, thus creating tension.
The character then walks down for some fresh air and watches a girl facing the other way. She walks towards him and anticipation colours his eyes, but it turns to disappointment when he realizes she was heading for the bin behind him. This second rejection encounter with a woman gives the viewers an idea that the film’s ending has everything to do with a female.
The director manages to further enhance that fact when they show the protagonist returning home after another boring day on the bus and a couple kiss infront of him.
The protagonist continues to wallow in his loneliness at home and another day begins, not much excitement to begin with. About 3 minutes into the movie, the protagonist starts looking sideways constantly throughout the day, as if to wait for someone. This builds up even more suspense in the audience as we try to figure out who it is or what it was.
The director then shows a short part where he looks out the window and sees another long haired woman and the look on his face was aweing and amazed at what he saw. The woman looks back and he pretends to be frantically solving a problem in front of him. But he turns back and she continues to turn back too, in the end he figures out she was looking at him. They then introduce themselves with written signs flashed at each other. Their short chat ends there but he does not stop smiling. This creates even more suspense for the audience as they try to wonder what would be of it.
