Greta relishes in the comforting mundanity of the laundromat when a call from her sister snaps her back to reality. She is reminded that today is Father's Day, a holiday that triggers sadness for both sisters who grieve the loss of their father. Greta pulls double duty by comforting her bereaved sister while struggling to crisply fold a fitted sheet. After the phone call, the Laundromat's owner takes notice of Greta wrestling with her linens. He walks over, takes a sheet, and folds it for her. The two strangers fold the rest of her sheets together in a quiet moment of sublime connectivity.
