The film is titled Just Another Love Story, and within its twisted, noir-like telling the characters’ seemingly isolated pieces flip through time. The result is a grand and dastardly storyboard, all stemming from an automobile accident between Jonas, a despondent crime scene photographer, and Julia, a beautiful, wealthy, and mysterious brunette. The collision is powerful enough to leave Julia in a coma, so she doesn’t argue when Jonas represents himself as her boyfriend, Sebastian, to her concerned family members. Of course, Julia did have a leading man prior to the debilitating accident. She also had a career, the details of which are unknown by even her closest kin. And who’s the bandaged man skulking through the hospital’s flickering hallways? Until all is revealed, these things aren’t Jonas’ concern. He’s enjoying his immersion in another, more revered life — and really, how bad could it get?
