Amongst the ruins of an abandoned city, R meets a girl. Her name is Julie and she is the opposite of everything he knows - warm and bright and very much alive, she is a blast of colour in a dreary grey landscape. For reasons he can't ...

Una oscura fábula de amor en la tradición de Romeo y Julieta que nos recuerda que nos hace realmente humanos. "Me llevo una mano al pecho, sobre el corazón. Mi "corazón". ¿Todavía representa algo ese penoso organo? Permanece inmovil, sin bombear sangre, sin la mas minima utilidad, y sin embargo mis emociones todavia parecen originarse entre sus frias paredes. ¿Que me pasa? ¿Me lo estoy imaginando todo? ¿Es un placebo? ¿Una ilusion optimista? En cualquier caso, siento que el encefalograma de mi vida se altera, formando montañas y valles con los latidos de mi corazon." R es algo peculiar. Intenta pasarselo bien, pero es demasiado sensible y a veces se entristece. Tampoco ayuda que este muerto, o casi muerto. Se pasa los dias vagando por el aeropuerto abandonado donde vive sin saber muy bien que sentido tiene su existencia. Hasta que conoce a Julie. R y Julie, un guiño moderno al clasico de Shakespeare Romeo y Julieta, es una historia de amor que esconde una fabula acerca de como vivimos dormidos, en estado catatonico, hasta que el amor irrumpe en nuestras vidas.
