What exactly do we do? In this film, the two main characters see others, the man even acknowledges that he slept with another girl. When the girl asked who is this other woman, he refuses to tell. They get into a fight. But the man swears that he will always love the girl but both are unsure what the future will bring.
As this is supposedly an arty-farty film, the pace would be excruciatingly painfully slow for some viewers. Of course, the art direction is picture postcard perfect in some scenes., The cinematographer managed to capture that desolate, lonely, abandoned feeling of lovers who have just had a fight.
The actors need not emote that much. Blank looks and a far away gaze convey that emptiness, hopelessness feeling within oneself. They are supposedly two lovers but they have to grapple with the uncertainty of the future. No one can guarantee a fairy tale, happily ever after ending. That can be achieved only through sheer hard work and determination.
