MovieDramaRomanceCan an adolescent experience define our perception of love? Can or should everything be connected or have a reason? A character recounts to his niece or nephew, in the form of a confession, an event from his adolescence that defines his particular way of perceiving love. While this exercise serves to tell a story that, regardless of genre, has surely been experienced by more than one person, it expresses the director's idea that discourse can sustain a work on its own, even if what is depicted on screen appears to have no connection.
