Alex O.

I set out not knowing what to expect with this film, and somehow, I think I missed something important to understanding or at least appreciating this film. I'm left wondering what exactly it was that I just watched. At least it was short enough, though I was struggling to stay interested from very early on.

Steven G.

reminscent of an old Twilight Zone episode; a man cheats on his girlfriend with another man's wife, then suddenly finds his life is not at all where he left it. how would it feel if your home was no longer your home and none of your family or friends recognized you? it's a small film with a low budget as are most European films. lots of narration and a small cast but wonderfully told and worth viewing.

Erik B.

After meeting a woman, a man must face the enigmatic actions of his acquaintances and relatives, who claim they never knew him. The film works on multiple levels in its deliberations on love and relationships. In fact, the dialogue frequently acts as an exposition on such topics and becomes (in and of itself) the highlight of the film. This is a highly enjoyable, unorthodox romance that's better than any of the crap that comes out of the US.
