No one knows when or where, but one thing is certain: sooner or later, love strikes. Here it strikes two people in the big city who have been on their own for a long time, both around forty, and it hits them out of a clear blue sky: he has the most wonderful eyes in the world, and she is so beautiful that he thinks he is hallucinating. But the state lasts only a few days. A comedy with barbs about love among single people today, and about the languages of love, from TV series, songs and everyday slang to the elevated tone of classical times.
