>movie set in Seattle in the 90s
>main character is a quiet, sensitive young loner
>he rents an apartment in an old building with weathered wooden horizontal boards on the outside
>spends his free time drifting around in his favorite green parka jacket listening to music through his earphones and reading books and going to the movie theatre alone
>on a rainy day he escapes into a coffee shop and decides to kill time there until the rain stops
>he approaches the counter to order coffee
>the barista turns around and comes to take his order
>they look into each others eyes and he feels like his heart is moving like an old motor
>he knows about the trope of old men thinking that the waitress likes them and doesn't want to embarrass himself
>a few days later he is in a video store looking for a third movie to rent since he already has two in his hands
>it's a popular place and there are a few people browsing
>he walks over to the foreign movie section
>he notices the girl from the coffee shop standing there
>she has a scrunchie in her dark hair and is wearing a white woolen jumper with a small necklace hanging out over the top
>he doesn't want to be a creep so stops at a nearby shelf and considers moving to a different part of the store
>she looks over and he notices her do that in his peripheral vision
>they move slowly towards each other along the aisle
>when they're a few metres apart they both look up
>there's a sense of familiarity there almost like they know each other already at least that's how he feels
>they both start smiling a little and acknowledge she works in the coffee store and he went there recently
>they talk about movies and end up walking to a nearby burger joint and then going to a late showing of Madame Butterfly
