In a tumultuous 1980s Amsterdam, we follow the life of a young man obsessed with cinema and the pleasures of life, Mark. After the tragic death of his mother, this solitary geek immerses himself in the search for love and connection in a world that seems so cold and indifferent. Among his adventures, he encounters an unusual yet charismatic woman: a theater actress named Isabelle, who awakens a whirlwind of emotions and a longing to live within him.
However, the relationship is not easy. Isabelle is a free spirit who navigates a bohemian lifestyle, fleeting encounters, and a past filled with failed relationships. Mark, with his sensitive heart and peculiar view of the world, tries to understand the complex intricacies of her life and the emotional games that surround it. Through a series of increasingly comedic and poignant situations, the story becomes a reflection on the search for love in unexpected places and the pain of the losses that mark our lives.
On this journey, Mark learns to grapple with his own demons and find his place in the world, all while facing the reality that sometimes love is not enough to heal deep wounds. With a bittersweet tone, this film serves as a tribute to the curiosity and vulnerability of the human heart.
