What will transpire between Leo and Franz seems self-evident before they exchange a word. 



The older man, decked out in a snazzy tweed blazer and a red silk ascot, has fairly unambiguous designs on his companion, who wears a black leather jacket, tight jeans and an air of rather studied innocence. 



But the art of seduction, like the related arts of dramaturgy and filmmaking, is often a matter of taking a circuitous route to a foregone conclusion. 



And so Leo reminisces about a woman he once loved, Franz natters [on] about his fiancee, and the two of them play a desultory game of ludo, a board game involving dice and little toy horses.
