Logline
The age-old topic of man and woman has never failed to offer material for tragedies and comedies. All the drama is packaged in humorous contradictions that alternate between original images and a dry voice-over.
Eve and Adam meet in Eden. It soon becomes apparent that they don’t find each other particularly attractive. But do they have a choice? Writing helps. They each start keeping a diary about this first encounter between two human beings — from very different perspectives, as one might imagine. And as they get on each other’s nerves and recount terrible things about each other, they discover an unexpected new emotion: love.
