Out for a Beer

A young man and a young woman are in a living-room, each reading a book. The man is obviously less interested in reading than the woman.

The man tells the woman he is going out for a beer and asks if she would like to come. She says that she will meet him later but for now she is going to continue reading.

The man puts on his coat and hat, says goodbye and steps out the door.

The man walks up the street and enters a bar nearby.

He orders a beer. The bartender places the beer in front of him. The man takes a sip.

Is this a swedish film?! Very stark...

I think this could work and actually I can envision it being consistent with your other work.

It's very straightforward (which is good for this assignment) but I think if you *don't* try to do too much with it, it will work better. Does that make sense. Watch some Bergman for inspiration!
