The Shoe

8 min. | Drama | Pegi 13

One casual day Valentina comes into Romain’s world. At first sight, gentle as a lamb, the little woman makes unique challenges for Romain. Of course, Valentina is not that woman that one could get so easily. Vainly searching for the slightest admiration and without any questions asked, Romain digests a Japanese fan, then ten meters of rope, a kilo of cherry pits and three red fishes. However, there must be something more. Something essential in order to satisfy the whims of the beloved Valentina.
