Why it works
The first shot holds 110 frames while the maker enters a reusable café geography; the later empty table and populated closing wide make the place a witness. The decline becomes readable in shots 19 and 22, then shot 29 gets the film's longest hold before a printed proof in shot 32. Sparse speech covers only 21%, so objects and reactions carry the turn.
