Budding love and classically comedic misunderstanding
CUTS TO:
A woman observing the sadness of city life
with an epileptic’s head in her hands
FADES TO:
A darkly challenged performer facing the horrible reality of art
CUTS TO:
A rumination on fame and the possibilities of romance with a dragon slayer.
