Oliveiro is a young poet living in Buenos Aires where sometimes he has to sell his ideas to an advertising agency to make a living or exchange his poems for a steak. In Montevideo, he meets a prostitute, Ana, with whom he falls in love. Back in Buenos Aires, he accepts a contract with a publicity agency to get the money for three days of love with her. Will he get what he's searching for when his ideal of love's pleasure is literally going in levitation while making love?

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dreamy, meandering love story where a bohemian poet chases an impossible ideal through Buenos Aires and Montevideo, blending surreal fantasy with the gritty reality of artistic survival. It's tender and absurd in equal measure, questioning what we're really seeking when we think we're seeking love.
