Buffalo '66

Layla doesn't see a monster, but a scared little boy, waiting and longing to be loved by someone, to be cuddled in the warm arms of a person who genuinely cares for him. A young boy hidden beneath the layers of fierce and quick-tempered persona, stuck in a body that's still living in the past as if time has stopped. Layla understands that Billy is a victim of bad people's complexes, unfulfilled dreams and living in the long-gone moments. She approaches carefully and calmly, although the tense situation and the many outbursts. Billy has difficulty connecting with others. Living in a house where love is not part of, affection is missing and being constantly ignored, gives rise to Billy's impossibility to understand how intimacy works, leading to the avoidance of even feeling it. Buffalo 66 is an absolutely accurate picture of the influence the past has on the present. It's the perfect fantasy of self-centered men: unearthly beautiful, obedient woman in the role of a punching bag. It's not a love story, but rather a story about understanding the meaning of the word "love".
