Mood Film

A boy at his first day of work as a shop assistant perceives that he is being watched throug the big shop-window by a girl who’s looking at him from inside her car, in the street. They start a sort of courting, exchanging glances, and this lasts for a couple of days, making him belive she has some interest in him. But nothing is ever really as it seems. There’s always something hiding beneath the surface, just like autumn leaves covering the ground.
