Ok guy, love is just a morality it doesn't exist, it is used by women to take the power. It is elaborated by women with a great cleverness to desorientate men.
Women can then establish their Empire.

Patrick McLoad 9 months ago

A superb job of story-telling, cinematography, and editing....thanks for sharing. This is the way it is supposed to be done, and B&W works well for this piece.

However, I would disagree somewhat with the ending statement. A "normal" relationship is a 2-way street; there's usually blame to lay on both sides, especially given the circumstances as depicted in this video. I would have preferred to see single shots of both characters at the end, not just the guy.
