Hot Mr. Scrooge is my neighbor. Hope The man loathes Christmas. What person doesn’t warm up to the best holiday of the year? The cabin I purchased mentioned it needed light work, not a gut renovation. Looks nothing like the picture. The brooding beast next door said he’d help spruce up the place if it will get me to leave him alone. Deal. Because who wants to be around the Grinch longer than they have to? Even if he’s tall.

Donne che appaiono all'improvviso e all'improvviso scompaiono. Uomini alla ricerca di qualcosa che ignorano e che li spinge oltre i confini del prevedibile. Situazioni consuete che d'un tratto virano nei territori dell'inquietudine. Interviste impossibili. Storie d'amore che nascono nei luoghi più inattesi, in bilico fra sogno e realtà. "Un sorriso lieve le si dipinse sulle labbra a quel ricordo. Sembrava parlasse di una storia d'amore, di un primo bacio, non dell'inseguimento di uno scippatore". Non esiste saggezza è un affresco commovente fatto di domande profonde e illuminazioni repentine.
