The Gist:
Two men, who both believe in chance or is it fate, have a chance encounter or was it fate?
Comments:
This is a short film told in a visually interesting style of having the screen split into four quadrants, allowing us to simultaneously see both men and their thoughts. Thoughts ruled by this idea of random chance / fate as shown by spinning slot machine wheels as they can’t stop thinking of their chance meeting.
The plot is essentially just the story of two men meeting, a simple ‘meet cute,’ but the visual trick makes it more interesting than it would have been otherwise.
It’s cute. It’s short. It’s fun.
Women:
Yes, barely. To be fair, other than the two men there are barely any roles, and even the two men barely speak.

No
