What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Frequent split-screen compositions place the man and woman in separate but simultaneous frames during their wedding-reception conversation.
The man speaks of memories as though they are mutually known, while the woman's responses slowly clarify their earlier connection.
The central wedding-reception dialogue, rather than external events, progressively changes the characters' understanding of one another.
Flirtation between the guests unfolds against the social setting of a wedding and their unresolved youthful connection.
