The Kiss

The Kiss is the story of Paolo, a museum guard who watches over Rodin's sculpture Le Baiser (The Kiss). Through this daily action of having to watch this eternal kiss, Paolo is confronted with his deeper longing, to experience romantic love. The Kiss explores the magical and mystical relationship that sometimes flourishes between a work of art and the observer.
