A beautifully rendered all-night roadside diner – complete with shiny chrome surfaces, jukebox, and local regulars – is the setting for this quietly moving story, seen through the eyes of the waitress, Pearl. Though trying to remain uninvolved, Pearl cannot help secretly imagining and speculating about the private lives of two of her customers. The question becomes: Should she act on those speculations? The animated images are composed of cutouts, collage and drawings.
