In any street of any city, two people collide brutally: a girl carrying a box that is sent flying, and a boy running desperately from who knows what; chance joins them violently once and again, weaving what may be the beginning of a great friendship — or something more.

The scouts
The premise is almost aggressively slight—two people crash into each other, twice, and maybe become friends?—which is exactly why it shouldn't work, but Obieta's refusal to resolve what *actually* happens between them into narrative comfort is quietly radical.
Obieta positions this within the lineage of Koreeda and early Haneke: collision as metaphor, chance encounters as formal structure, the careful withholding of emotional resolution as a sign of artistic maturity.
The genius move is treating the box—what it is, what it means—as completely irrelevant; every ounce of budget goes into the texture of two people learning to occupy the same space, and that structural choice transforms a 22-minute fragment into something complete.
