Anna misses the flight she should have taken to find Greg in Barcelona. The plane crashes. Taken in the giddiness of a death that has been barely avoided, she moves away from truth and the present. As this couple breaks up, Paris becomes the echo of distress.
It's a collage and some sequences are stronger than other. Some dialogues are good, or so they seem in the beginning, later in the movie the lines become clichéd and unbearably boring. The sequence in the theatre is probably the weakest. This movie expresses some concepts (loneliness, self- doubt, fear, but not sure how much of this romance movie really entailed love). A lot of narration and random scenes of this ice cold protagonist (at times excessively jolly with a lack of realistic middle ground) talking to her boyfriend or her ex/ late boyfriend, which didn't make sense and missed the trance like effect, usually expected out of such movies. It'd work out as a short film but not as a complete length movie. For this to be a movie, a lot more work had to be put in.
