 Two lovers rendezvous on a Sunday afternoon in front of the penguins at the San Francisco zoo. Their greeting is awkward; there are nervous pauses, questions, evasions then blatant lies; finally, the truth comes out. Then there s shock, hurt, anger, barbs, and last words. Although the gestures, facial expressions, and tones of voice are real, the words the men speak are actually subtexts: "Insincere laughter." "Probing question." "Evasive answer." "Confusion - slightly suspicious." The ritual of animal behavior is on display.
