by Jason Karman
14 min, 2011, HD
The patience of an outsider is tested when a square dancer holds him in contempt for his romantic advances.
An outsider enters a strange bar hoping to connect with people and instead finds a curious square dance troupe in the back. In the troupe, he pursues a mysterious square dancer only to be chastised as the square dance caller steps in order to save the troupe from fragmenting.
