All The Lonely People, Where Do They All Belong?(2021)

(Do you like the tall coconut trees or the dwarf coconut trees?)

A man tries to recover from a car accident by practicing football all day. He thinks a lot about a girl who mysteriously disappeared by the sea. The pain on his leg suddenly reoccurs, right after he finds the girl's hat on the beach. He falls over.

A recently-divorced man is making his ex-wife a last dinner on their wedding anniversary night, trying his best to make a decent goodbye with her, who is heading to the airport right before the sunrise. But eventually, he collapses.

Caught in aphasia, a man is unable to tell his wife that he no longer has desire for her. His weird silent rejection drives her crazy, this confrontation turns into a battle in the bedroom.

A young man mourns his mother by the sea. He brings her news for her former lover, but the only response he receives is the surging of the waves.

On a tropical beach, these four people encounter each other in a  sudden storm, which seems to wash away their sorrow.

In a life full of uncertainty and frustration, there are poetic moments that heal our broken hearts. And then, life continues…

Heart weeps.

Head tries to help heart.

Head tells heart how it is, again:

You will lose the ones you love. They will all go. But

even the earth will go, someday.

Heart feels better, then.

But the words of head do not remain long in the ears of

heart.

Heart is so new to this.

I want them back, says heart.

Head is all heart has.

Help, head. Help heart.

-Head, Heart, by Lydia Davis
