Andrew Dolan ("Ben") encounters "Virgil" (Victor Verhaeghe) on the train, early one morning, and is drawn to this stranger. A very few sentences are exchanged between the pair who discover they both have an interested in actress Myrna Loy and the film tapers off to a folk song from guitarist (and director) Brian O'Neill that's lyric "I found you, you found me" seems to sum the whole thing up. There's nothing compete about this short feature - it's almost just a cinematic example of serendipity into which we are offered but a glimpse.
