Plot synopsis
The state of being in love, depicted in conceivably different shapes and colours. Five episodes that initially seem unrelated. Sometimes wobbly and flickering like a holiday video, other times shy and quiet. Or absurd, impulsive, even painful. From the adulatory “crush” over the fleeting flirtation up to the love that is not returned, plunging its casualties into grey worlds. Love is the link in this story of a young journalist unable to feel enthusiasm for anything until he meets up with love on the wall of a building. The story of a holiday flirt and the secret, by definition unrequited, love of a shoemaker for a girl in white pumps. Of magnetic common interests and bloody kisses.
