Synopsis

A comic morality tale: a married woman’s flight in the darkness from a one-night stand is arrested by a man whose suicide has been temporarily suspended by a tree branch. A film about the infantile wish to escape the consequences of our actions, and what happens when the practicalities of life (such as other people’s desires, the force of gravity and babies) intervene to complicate matters.
