Plot

Mariana and Martin have similar lives: the same loneliness, the same neurosis, even the same apartment, but they can’t meet. Their only link is also what separates them: the sidewall.

Sinekatalog’s take

A witty short about two lonely neighbors who share the same neurosis, and nearly the same apartment, yet never meet. The wall that divides them becomes the romantic engine. Charming and wry, an easy recommendation for fans of urban rom-coms.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
