About
While The Leaves Are Blowing is an ode to them for who it seems impossible to find the right partner. Are we too critical when it comes to finding the perfect partner? Is it a bad thing to stay single? Like a nature documentary we look at a group of people that gathers at a meeting point: it is the final day to find a partner.
“The desire for companionship is one of the strongest urges in life. But looking for an ideal partner can become a long and lonely search. What can we do to win someone over?” David Attenborough – Life Story
