Okus Kero and the Unattainable Virgo
In the shadows of my soul, where love is tinged with melancholy and desire is wrapped in veils of mystery, Okus Kero and the Unattainable Virgo is born. A story that dances on the strings of my heart, intertwining the comedy of everyday life with the depth of feelings.
Okus Kero, a clumsy and dreamy man, is hopelessly in love with the Virgo zodiac sign. His soulmate, an ethereal and elusive being, who seduces him with her aura of perfection and torments him with her unattainability.
Like a modern-day Don Quixote, Okus Kero embarks on a series of tragicomic adventures to win the heart of his beloved. He will encounter bizarre obstacles and eccentric characters, caricatures of our own inner demons.
Okus Kero's love is a flame that burns in the darkness, a beacon that illuminates his weaknesses and pushes him to overcome his limits. In a world dominated by superficiality, his tenacity becomes a hymn to hope and the beauty of romanticism, even when it takes on grotesque and surreal tones.
Okus Kero and the Unattainable Virgo is an introspective journey, an ode to imperfection and the power of dreams. A film that invites you to never give up, even in the face of the most arduous challenges, because love, even if tormented, can illuminate our existence with an unexpected light.
With affection,
The Director
P.S. If you were born under the sign of Virgo, don't worry! Despite your otherworldly perfection, you too have a heart that can be won... by a love crazy enough to keep up with you.
