Synopsis

Angela is a thirty-year-old woman navigating life through a complex web of compulsions and superstitions. She believes certain colors bring bad luck, particular numbers are cursed, and that fate guides her destiny. Desperate to prove that love is possible, Angela becomes fixated on Marco, a divorced cello instructor she's never properly met. Convinced that the stars have aligned for their connection, she embarks on an unconventional courtship, leaving handwritten poems and notes in his mailbox rather than risk the vulnerability of a face-to-face introduction.As Angela's obsessive behavior intensifies, the film explores whether her manufactured destiny will blossom into genuine connection or dissolve into the lonely confusion that has defined her search for love—a tender, melancholic tale about desire, isolation, and the human longing for emotional reciprocation.
