Handshake of a Stranger is a short awkward comedy exploring the moment before meeting someone special. As a lonely guy steps into a coffeeshop, he is engaged in conversation by two strangers. It ends. He leaves. The same two strangers are approached by a woman drinking coffee in the shop asking about the guy they just talked to. Strangers become friends and the woman is set off to meet this guy.
