But the old woman, who lives in the apartment above the old man's, has attuned her practice of solitary pleasures according to the old man's schedule. But this time her reverie is broken with the old man's incessant ringing of her doorbell. Water leaking from her bath has made its way to his apartment and has begun to drip on his well-stocked luncheon table. At first he seems bent on repairing the leak. Now begins a delightful pas de deux between the old couple, accompanied with hesitant glances, flushed faces, and tentative reaction shots.
Romance is in the air. . . .
