In Havana, Paris, and New York City, Claudio and Cecilia succumb to our implacable movement toward love.Claudio’s apartment faces a wall. Rising from bed, he sets his feet on the f loor at the same time, to ground himself. Cecilia sits at her window, contemplating a cemetery, the radio her best companion.

And no depth of emotion can protect us from love’s inevitable loss. Show more
