Layover

Two strangers meet in the bar of an airport hotel and have an immediate connection. Over the course of their conversation, we come to realize that they might not be strangers after all, and may have influenced each other's lives when they were children. While the basic story of two people who share a connection and then realize they've met before isn't particularly original, it was done very well here and in a more subtle way. It isn't treated as a huge epic reveal that they've met before, it's a more realistic depiction of getting a chance to have a conversation, as an adult, with that boy or that girl who changed your life in some small way, who you never forgot. The flashbacks of their childhoods are very nostalgic and nice, and the acting and dialogue made up for any lack of originality in the premise. Feels like it could be one scene in a feature, but it can also stand alone as its own story.
