This film explores, then examines, the nature and presence of love but does not attempt to explain it. That is the hallmark of its success.

From the opening sequence through the rolling credits, we are invited to believe that although gender and jealousy may present obstacles to true love, they will never defeat it. It is an invitation we cannot refuse.

The plot for all its reliance on coincidence and remote possibility, serves to remind us that true love may be easy to recognize but difficult to find, in a world of increasing cynicism and heartbreak.

Moreover, it encourages us to accept that the experience of true love defies logic and analysis but rather should be savored, for love, like life, is transient - in the face of time and changing circumstance.

Most memorable line: `I love you, my adorable hedgehog. Never not.'
