At the Rent Do Nang Xinh women’s clothing rental shop in Cao Lanh, Vietnam, a customer and a saleswoman searched for each other for a full minute without ever finding one another. Filmed by a security camera, the video shows a customer entering the shop looking for the saleswoman.

The two women quickly began a conversation. They could hear each other perfectly and answered each other several times, but without ever managing to see one another. Every time one moved in a certain direction, the other made the exact same movement at the same time. The result was incredible: they crossed paths several times, just a few meters apart, without noticing each other. For nearly a minute, customer and saleswoman seemed caught in a strange loop where their movements were perfectly synchronized.

Finally, chance put an end to this involuntary choreography, and the two women found themselves face to face. Immediately realizing the absurdity of the situation, they burst out laughing.
