How to pass the time before your movie starts

Inside a woman knits a baby sweater to pass the time.

Near her, a group of festival-goers assess the movies they've seen so far and the lottery system that decided how they picked their movies. Two friends joke with another patron that they only let their husbands go with them to one movie at TIFF, the rest they see with one another. Then they discuss how movies are picked for TIFF. Other patrons have a lengthy discussion on morality.

Stragglers come rushing in, bumping seat backs.
