Where did this story come from? Was it based at all on true events?
It is not based on anything real. This came up thinking while at a bar, noting things. I realized that if I spend hours, or days, and sometimes months thinking about a film at a cafe or bar, something comes out. I wrote this story in the time that I separated from my partner after being together for 15 years. Something of that climate in which I lived impregnates the film.
