The Ill Fated Romance of the Giraffe and the Ballerina

Synopsis

Set in a Surrealistic African savannah cum ballet studio, a romance blossoms between a giraffe and a ballerina. On the surface they seem alike, but as we burrow further into the relationship we see unsolvable differences of spirit. He is a non-communicative creature of low intelligence and she is a highly-strung and incredibly self-analytical individual whose needs any giraffe would have difficulty fulfilling. Though the romance ends sorrowfully, the tale ends with a note of hope: our pointy-toed protagonist has learnt a valuable lesson about relationships, which she will henceforth apply to her love life.
