Help! There was a great short film I can't remember the name

15 years (or so) ago I saw a most remarkable short film, on PBS maybe. It was brilliant. I have been looking for it ever since. I hope someone out there can help me find it. It's a short film with two characters, a well-to do woman and a haggard (perhaps homeless) man in a train or subway station. She buys a salad at the cafeteria, puts it on a booth table, returns to the counter to get a napkin or fork or something and returns to find the haggard man with her salad. She attempts to take it, but the man will not relinquish the salad. Instead, he offers to share it with her. She is outraged at the invasion and at losing half her salad on this strange man's terms, but he is not unfriendly and she is hungry. When they are done eating, he leaves the booth having taught her to share. When she leaves the booth she sees that she had put her salad in the adjacent booth and realizes that she had actually invaded the man's space. This simple twist profoundly changes the perspective of both the characters, and especially the viewer. What was this film? Who made it? I'm aching to know.
