A lowly woman gets on a French subway and is traveling in silence when a man suddenly appears and announces that he is in search of a woman as he hasn't been in love for over two years and is tired of feeling empty.
People laugh and scoff at the man but he ignores them, and asks any woman who is interested to get off at the next bus stop. Well, the bus stops, the woman gleefully gets off, turns around - only to realize the man on the bus was doing it solely for entertainment, to gain money from travelers.
The film ends with her standing on the platform, alone.
I was taken aback by the suddenness of the ending. It's pretty powerful, especially considering it's only four minutes long. But the director manages to convey a lot of things just through facial expressions, particularly the woman's.
Pretty brutal little film, but a very good one.
