Gone with the Woman

Running time: 92 mins

Personality type A, meet type B.

Beauty and confidence are highly sought-after traits. But one man who is especially insecure-and therefore alone-finds that sometimes good traits can give rise to particularly pompous individuals.

In a relationship that was forced together from the beginning, a man agrees to join his girlfriend on a train trip through Europe. They remain oblivious to the signs playfully symbolizing their interactions along the way with colorful, musical and visual elements that describe the scenes. But an inevitable break-up leaves them ending their journey going separate ways. This theatrical tale points a finger at all relationships that simply weren?t meant to be, wittingly narrating a story about men and women and the interplay between their needs.
