Love, by reason of its passion, destroys the in-between which relates us to and separates us from others.

Through the child, it is as though the lovers return to the world from which their love had expelled them. But this new worldliness, the possible result and the only possibly happy ending of a love affair, is, in a sense, the end of love, which must either overcome the partners anew or be transformed into another mode of belonging together.

Since all fairy tales need a spell of some kind and it's all been done before, we tried to find an original approach.
