Playing a part in a love (hate?) triangle he does not fully understand until the conclusion, he desperately tries to make sense of the unpredictable behavior of the other two main characters which is linked to the secrets lurking in their past. All this while he is not sure about his own role in a world where yesterday’s truths mean nothing today. Brilliant actors in a brilliant film that even gives you a glimpse of hope at the end.
