A lonely, troubled writer in a secluded tower block develops a budding relationship with his mysterious neighbor, all the while being inspired to revisit his estranged parents at his childhood home. There are a lot of things I admire about this movie, but unfortunately I found the whole thing a bit too predictable in spite of its earnestness. Regardless, there is a lot of pain and longing in this film which makes it all the more memorable and easy to recommend for film buffs. Probably one of the most distressing films I've ever seen (and very similar to a screenplay that I wrote a long time ago).
A remake of the Japanese film, The Discarnates, which was played for a completely different tone.
