Overview
Synopsis
A man and woman, known as He and She, are sitting around a table. It seems clear that they are lovers who are breaking up. He seems to be the catalyst of this decision and She begs that he let her explain her actions before they part. Trying to break through his stoicism, She does her best to clarify why she cheated on him 3 times. She blames him for his lack of emotion and for forcing her to try to hurt him in order to get him to feel something. Can She break through his walls and make him understand so that He doesn’t walk away hating her? Can He feel for her situation and get her to understand that he is indeed hurt? Do they actually even know what’s happening? Is her pain real? Has this relationship been transparent? It turns out to be quite the enigma.
