As if in a bright, colourful comic strip we are introduced to the two main characters, who portray a modernistic advertising romance. She, a successful graphic designer frantically pursuing her career, walks into the picture to meet him, a syvoices analyst leading an armoured life, at a remarkably coincidental moment on the way to his work. Bright images of a watchful Toronto provide a perfect setting. The drama of their romance knows all the highs and lows and when she hears the dying gasps of her cat, she sees her world in a profusion of unwanted supply in an unbridled stressful nothingness. Fortunately the story continues with a mutual tug of war for who will play the lead role in their relationship; a moment which demands a satisfactory resolution. Despite their mutual power of attraction they seem psychologically as much inhibited in their daily activities, as in their longing for the usual role model of domestic bliss. Her final decision provides a glorious example of dynamic action.
