A landlord stands outside a modest
0:01
apartment holding an eviction notice in
0:03
his hand. He knocks three times on the
0:05
door and waits. The door opens and a
0:08
woman answers, her eyes red from crying.
0:10
Behind her, four children sit silently
0:13
at a dinner table with empty plates. The
0:15
landlord steps inside and sees the woman
0:17
drop to her knees, hands clasped,
0:20
whispering words he can't quite hear. He
0:22
freezes in the doorway, the notice still
0:24
in his grip. His fingers slowly loosen
0:27
and the paper falls to the floor. He
0:29
turns and walks out without saying a
0:31
word. Months pass and the rent stays
0:33
exactly the same. Sometimes the smallest
0:36
moments change everything.
