A young woman sits in a cafe, waiting for the last bus, leaving at midnight. Elza, an extraordinarily beautiful woman is waiting for the same bus. They wait together, spending hours side by side. In the beginning, they are only two strangers, sitting in wait, but the relationship between them develops. Elza becomes an obsession. She is someone sitting beside the other young woman, giving meaning to the waiting, infusing life into the mundane afternoons with her presence alone. Elza is now her habit; she has always been waiting for her. One day, Elza does not show up. The young woman is jealous of whomever Elza is with instead of her-jealous of the reason Elza is somewhere else. Perhaps Elza has found another place to wait for the bus, another friend. The young woman goes to find her obsession, and this search drives her into a Kafkaesque revelation, searching for the meaning of life.
