The Barstool (2021)

As the bar is about to close, down-on-his-luck Stanley (Rose) orders his usual drink from the bartender (Ngaiza). He is accosted by sharp-shooter Laverne (Thompson), who begins challenging customary greetings, gender roles, first impressions, and bar etiquette. As their conversation intensifies, Stanley and Laverne realize they are reckoning with the discomfort of human connection, and they arrive at an unexpected, poignant denouement.
