In a distant past, Léon and Elvira Berthelini, itinerant artists, make their living hopping from town to town. In Covarronca, harassed by the Police Commissioner, they are forced to spend the night out in the open. That’s when they meet Stubbs, a young Cambridge student, with whom they find shelter in the home of a painter at odds with his wife. In return for the hospitality, they remind their hosts that the love of art resolves the art of love. Meanwhile, an unusual curse sends them on absurd journeys into the 21st century, where the future of social security and of a rock band are at stake.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A charmingly digressive journey through time and romance, where itinerant artists and a Cambridge student collide with the absurd, discovering that love and art are the true currency of life. The film luxuriates in meandering storytelling and unexpected tonal shifts, treating a cosmic curse as an excuse for whimsy rather than calamity.
