Love?

This film was made in only 10 days!

Often misread, misinterpreted, we need to listen the poetry behind this movie to truly understand it. Keywords are heartache, romantic fatalism, masculinity - femininity and dark secrets. Relationships between main protagonists, the dark heroes of the story, feel so natural and familiar and so is the guillotine that awaits. The tragedy is inevitable. This is probably why the ending hurts so much. We would like a different world, the world that gives the second chance.

Last but not the least, this film throws a light at BDSM love & sexuality in a masterful and poetic way.
