Duet is an elegant love affair between sausages and tomatoes. The back and forth scenes in the spot run parallel to a duet heard in the opera music. The camera rotates between different close-ups of sausages and tomatoes, male and female. The sausages are removed from the pan, tumble off the plate and bump into the tomatoes already on a cutting board. The aria ends in a gasp of surprise and pleasure as the sausage and tomatoes finally come together.
