This foreign film details two idiosyncratic characters who have never met, despite living across the street. Their lives run parallel to each other as they go about their separate lives, listening to the same song on the radio or watching the same movie on TV. Though executed beautifully, the story line lacks uniqueness. It is a watered down version of titles such as Amelie and Castaway on the Moon, and is far from noteworthy and rather slow. The characters reach a level of quirkiness far beyond being realistic. However, it is still an enjoyable watch if you're in the right kind of mood and the acting is redeemable.
