Whilst working his way through an entire pack of cigarettes, a man sits at a corner table in a café and ponders "what is love?". What follows is a series of romantic (and not so) scenarios in which people spend time together, search online for their ideal partner, imagine what life might be like were things different - and all augmented by the general chatter and conversation taking place around him. Some of that chatter is quite profound, some of it - well let's just say there's plenty of hot air in there, too - though that's not restricted to the physical venue: there's plenty of vacuous phone chat included too. There's one quite poignant scene featuring a text conversation that sees a semblance of commitment met with dots, then not. More dots then not, then a read receipt - LOL!! Is the grass always greener or might true love actually exist for any of those seeking it? Are they truly seeking it anyway? The animation styles alter a little from time to time and that adds a richness to this quite interesting look at what makes us tick, emotionally and sexually - and it's not always pleasing or enduring what emerges from our dalliances with "love".
