Incest, a love against the grain

“They love each other, without really wanting to, because each beat of their hearts follows an inverted rhythm. He advances, she retreats. Their story, a dance in reverse time, seems doomed to a dead end. And yet, with each separation, something invisible holds them, inexorably, towards a destiny that they refuse to admit. It is a race against the wind, a love that is born in the breath of regrets, where the future and the past collide. While Raphaëlla, Hanna's mother, went to treat herself to a new marriage, little Hanna with the ravishing eyes was lucky to access a supreme standard of living. A new world that destiny had given her. But life being full of mysteries, she fell under the charm of her new father's son. Her brother by marriage named Ulrich Espoir. Ulrich, a rather handsome and elegant young man, also could not resist his sister's gray eyes and let himself be carried away by a true LOVE. It was a voluptuousness, but terrible and sublime when he threw himself into an empty, distraught gaze and hugged himself tightly when he saw himself suspended over an abyss. Ulrich did not weaken. Strong in his pain since he had enough LOVE when the world wanted to come between the supreme love he felt for his sister. Their story should have remained a simple chance encounter, a distant memory in a world where destiny does not linger. But each memory they stole from each other takes them back, where mistakes accumulate and excuses fade away. Time seems to be against them, always pushing back their chance to be together. They cling to broken dreams, fragments of a future that never saw the light of day. And yet, in every way, they know that it is this impossible love that defines them, even if it goes AGAINST everything they have learned to want. In a world where every moment is calculated, timing is their worst enemy. Hanna and Ulrich have found each other, but always with a beat too many or too few. They are two pieces of a puzzle whose contours never quite match. For every smile exchanged, a silence heavy with meaning. For every promise made, an involuntary betrayal. They love each other, but in a constant shift, as if the universe itself had decided that their love could never truly blossom in the present.”
