Overview

Chicago, en algún momento... Dos personas se conocen por casualidad en la Escuela de Arte. Antes de su inesperado encuentro, él es un estudiante de doctorado que lidia con sus pensamientos destructivos mediante cálculos compulsivos sobre viajes a través del tiempo; ella es una artista de las falsificaciones bipolar que se está sometiendo a psicoterapia. Al final de esta historia, nada de eso habrá cambiado. Pero esta no es una historia sobre finales. Para Regan, la gente es predecible y aburrida, incluyéndose -quizás especialmente- a sí misma. Sobrelleva la monotonía de la existencia viviendo de manera impulsiva, imaginando que se crea una nueva línea temporal alternativa con cada decisión irreflexiva que toma. Para Aldo, el mundo es un lugar caótico e inquietante. Supera sus días erigiendo un muro construido de rutinas: un conjunto de reglas y fórmulas que le permiten seguir adelante. Sin ellas, el marco de su existencia se derrumbaría. Para Regan y Aldo, la vida ha sido cuestión de resignarse a los designios de lo inevitable, hasta que se conocen. ¿Podrían seis conversaciones con un extraño ser la variable que sacuda los cimientos de su vida? Una exploración íntima y contemporánea del tiempo, el espacio y la naturaleza del amor; de cómo enfrentarte a tus propias fracturas y aun así amar como si no estuvieras roto.

Chicago, sometime - Two people meet in the Art Institute by chance. He is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist, undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. By the end of the story, these things will still be true. But this is not a story about endings. For Regan, people are predictable and tedious, including and perhaps especially herself. She copes with the dreariness of existence by living impulsively, imagining a new, alternate timeline being created in the wake of every rash decision. To Aldo, the world feels disturbingly chaotic. He gets through his days by erecting a wall of routine: a backbeat of rules and formulas that keep him going. Without them, the entire framework of his existence would collapse. For Regan and Aldo, life has been a matter of resigning themselves to the blueprints of inevitability-until the two meet. Could six conversations with a stranger be the variable that shakes up the entire simulation?
