RomaniaDescription:
Kiki este o tinara nonconformista, incapabila sa aleaga intre viata alaturi de un artist megaloman, Renato, si iubirea pentru o alta fata, Alex. Coplesita de temeri, nevroze si viziuni romantice, unele aflate la granita dintre reverie si boala, ea frecventeaza mediile studentesti si artistice, in cautarea unui raspuns la dilemele sale. In aceasta continua oscilatie intre hetero- si homosexualitate, Kiki traieste insa o serie de experiente in urma carora viziunile sale devin mai puternice decit realitatea.
