“Woman as she is...all things to men!”

ComedyDrama

Five short stories loosely dealing with the roles of women in society. A superstar actress travels to a mountain resort, only to evoke jealousy from women and lust from men. A woman offers to take an injured man to the hospital. A widowed father and his son seek for a new wife/mother. A man seeks revenge for a woman's honor. A bored housewife tries to explain to her husband that he's not as romantic as he used to be.

VIBE

A collection of vignettes that feel like intimate conversations overheard at a European cafe. It's a thoughtful, sometimes melancholic, exploration of connection and the quiet dramas of everyday life, wrapped in a nostalgic, European charm.
