A man sits alone on his sofa. There is music playing and a half-drunk bottle of champagne. The camera holds on this scene for thirty seconds. Nothing happens.

A man is on a bus in a town he does not know. Two girls are chattering. He overheards their chatter. It's significance is marginal. All that matters is that he hears it, and we hear him hearing it.

A man falls over on the same sofa.

A kid stares out of the window of a car. He's wearing a track suit.

It's all in the detail.
