CGiii Comment
A selfish film, you will feel persecuted by the end - the director deserves a jolly good slap for dismally trying to manipulate his audience to such an extent.
Dull with no redeeming features - apart from when Antony Hegarty sings over the closing credits.
It's about infatuation - watch 'Enduring Love' instead.

The(ir) Blurb...
The solitary Daniel and Sonia share an uneasy love/hate relationship. Daniel's life is disrupted by the appearance of a stranger that proceeds to insinuate himself in his life. The man's persistence takes its toll on Daniel and Sonia, leaving Daniel alone with nagging questions of "Why?" Written by Pusan International Film Festival
