A small neighbourhood pub which we enter as well-informed regulars, i.e. absent-minded and idle customers. The camera – with a cheeky sense of humour – swings from the chilly and scrupulous cashier to embraced lovers on a seat, comes back to pick up ordinary conversation, the usual trivial remarks exchanged between lonely pensioners and the blasé barman.
