Love in 15 fragments is a portrait of female seduction featuring a Dutch girl from posh Amsterdam South who has a crush on a beautiful Arabic girl from the poor quarters
of Amsterdam East. They meet each other in the nude area of a female only sauna where nudity means equality.
Love doesn't unfold like a story. Only the first and the last chapter are known. Love starts from love and ends in letting go. In between there is tenderness and cruelty, waiting and fulfillment, ecstasy and disappointment. If love is a discourse, these are her figures of speech.
NUDE AREA presents an adolescent love between two girls. Childish cruelty is mixed with full-blown sensuality. Dreams and life reflect and complete each other. The end is known, the story will be told after the love is gone.
