Folktales as Therapy by Verena Kast
A touch of eroticism, romance and drama, combined with a handful of love, passion and sacrifice, make this story a modern fairytale. Ryan has secluded himself into darkness, from the pity of others, unable to come to terms with his condition. Lucy has secluded herself from reality and the relationships in which she was never able to be her true self. Since day one, the light breaking from the balcony next door brings the man back to life, drawing him in and creating an addiction. The woman, unable to find long-lasting happiness, becomes involved in a world of kinks, where she finds what she least expects, yet has always sought to have. Once the truth is out, the attraction between Ryan and Lucy reaches its peak, the addiction becomes mutual, and the days full of games, lust and affection they dedicate to each other, are slowly coming to an end, threatening with goodbye. At the crucial moment, when all their emotions have been made known, is it possible to just close the door of one world, and return to reality as if nothing has happened at all? Can the addiction that's been driving him into despair now bring him back to life, make him a complete man and convince him that miracles do happen?
