Theme is that of confrontation, of dealing with that which keeps us away from home at night, when around 8pm or close of work and there’s a rush to go home, and we hesitate and decide to linger some more –the theme is that of “the why of hesitation”, “the confrontation of hesitation” and “the resolution if any”.
