(5 men, with silent extras).

(2 men). MAN IN A RESTAURANT depicts a day in the life of a man who drinks espresso at a cafe table from early in the morning to very late at night. An odd assortment of people share his table over the course of the day--including his ex-wife, a tourist couple, a laborer, a priest and a student.
