Jessa is walking down the street, still angry from the 
previous fight. She texts the same whatsapp message to a few 
friends: "Dispo?" (subtitle: "Free to talk?"), and receives 
the following answers: 

- Two blue double ticks with no answer 

- "Je couche Zoé déso" ("I'm putting Zoe to sleep sorry") 

- No response 

- "Je pars à un dîner. On s'appelle bientôt ?" (subtitle: "I'm 
heading for a dinner, let"s chat soon") 

Jessa then calls her mother. 

JESSA 

Maman? 

MOM (O.S.) 

Allô ma chérie. J'ai vraiment pas le 
temps. Je te rappelle demain. [subtitle: 
"Hi dear. I'm too busy, I'll call you 
tomorrow"] 

Jessa enters a bar. She sits alone and scrolls through her 
instagram and sees all the same vain random photos of good 
looking girls. 

Follows a sequence of different shots of Jessa working alone, 
eating alone, scrolling trough her news feed alone, on 
different days. Last sequence: She is seated at a coffee shop 
working. She looks at her newsfeed. Then looks at Leku's 
number but doesn't click on Call. She scrolls through her 
other contacts, looking sad. She writes on a Digital Nomads 
facebook group: "Hi awesome travelers! I'm in Cape Town for a 
few days - anyone in town?". 

CUT TO: 

INT. BAR - EVENING 

A guy, CHAD, enters the coffee shop, meets and greets Jessa. 
Their looks and make up show they are on a casual date. Chad 
is the typical American guy. 

CHAD 

Hey. So you're a nomad? That's dope. How 
many countries have you done? I'm at 34 
but I'm pretty sure I'll nail 50 by the 
next of next year.
