Hardly Bear To Look At You

Synopsis

Love isn't blind, just extremely short-sighted.

Hardly Bear To Look At You takes an unflinching look at the addictive effect unrequited love can have on both parties. A myopic filmmaker tries unsuccessfully to seduce an enigmatic street performer, escorting her from London to Paris by train and then back again in her antique Citroen van. When he casts her in a film set in Cannes, his romantic obsession grows, leading to a conclusion that will force a re-evaluation of all that has gone before.
