Jules et Jim

And two friends, comfortable in each other's presence, accepting and appreciative of their differences, curious and generous, fall in love with the same woman. Their friendship is strong enough to survive petty jealousies but their rational approach must coalesce with a temperamental vengeful beautiful seductive other, someone created for all to desire but none to possess, as they attempt to recalibrate ancient volatile amorous restrictions, and logically come to terms with that which is scientifically forbidden.

Humble temperaments and a disregard for material goods produce a congenial state of affairs within which archaeology plays a constructive role and time is distended within its seemingly constant particularity.

Only the unanticipated extremes of the one, the refusal to tolerate anything but a complete and unadulterated submission, as they seek to sustain a subjective set of checks and balances, upon which they remain on top, threatens to dissolve things.

Sulphuric acid for the eyes of men who lie. Lips set in stone. Paris and trips to the countryside.

What is left unwritten.

The introduction of permanence disrupts Jules et Jim's carefree aesthetic through the blinding championing of victory.

Solutions chaotically present themselves.

Effects need not be taken into account.
