Please, After You

Mark, a mid-level manager, gets stuck in a elevator doorway with a stranger named Sarah. Their polite "after you" escalates into an absurd courtesy competition that spills beyond the office building. Within 48 hours, their ritualistic exchange of deferrals paralyzes a café queue, derails a wedding, and nearly halts a subway train. Police label them dangerous anarchists, a psychologist diagnoses collective hysteria, while they themselves can no longer recall who initiated this endless politeness dance. As the situation escalates, it becomes a media spectacle, turning a private conflict into a national show where every viewer picks a side in the war of etiquette.
