loving strangers

loving strangers, after watching this movie, I think this song is the most appropriate interlude.
One-night love is different from one-night stands. They cover up, tell, soothe, understand, attract, resist but yearn.
Compared with the erotic literature and art films I have seen before, this film allows me to see something other than eroticism, pure, through and through, cautiously probing, but desperately trying to get closer.
Keeping it all in this room makes this love the best part of our memory, she said.
They carefully test love in the morning light, pay homage to the dying warmth in the cramped bathtub, and let go of each other's hands in the slate streets...
loving strangers, because they don't understand, they can read better, because they don't know each other It's easy to share, because love can be short-lived without hope.
One night's love has not begun, it has ended, and it is not even a small episode in the other's life, but it makes the other's heart linger for a long time.
There are only three characters in the whole movie, but there are not only three characters, but only one set, but it supports the whole movie. Oil paintings, murals, bathtubs, balconies, sunshine, singing Italian waiters, enough.
Spanish is really the world's most suitable language for love, just like French and Italian.
Me llamo Natasha. Me llamo Alba, mi amor.

    Two women can have this kind of love, short and beautiful.

    There is only one scene in the whole film, but the lens flows beautifully like water. It is a movie with erotic and gluttonous words running through. The meaning of the dialogue lies in the crisis of trust in the dew love relationship... The gay element is instead a foil.
