Storyline
| Plot Summary |
A young woman, alone in her room, is plagued by love-sickness. She rearranges the few pieces of furniture and then takes them out, with the exception of her mattress. Little by little, she also gets rid of her clothes, eats sugar and writes a letter. Finally, the woman leaves the flat. A lorry driver gives her a lift, enabling her to get to the woman she loves. |

| Quotes |
Truck-driver:
You see, this is what matters. Move your hand. Slowly. Not so fast. Up and down. Slowly at first, then a little faster. I can feel it. It's getting warm. It's getting harder. It's filling up. Now the heat comes - inside and out. Slowly. It's gonna get real big and burst its skin. You obey, but you're afraid. You think it's wrong. Stroke it faster. Faster. Keep going. You can feel it coming. Go on. Go on. Slowly. That's right, up and down. [Groans] Truck-driver: It came in little waves. I'm gonna put my head on the steering wheel. See more » |
