We can and must share our opinions and express our wishes: we have much to share, giving up sincerity is giving up a healthy relationship. They haven’t stopped being themselves, but have gone beyond themselves, and this enriches them, as we can see when the journalist learns from the comics girl and starts using the newspaper characters and symbols. The journalist doesn’t abandon the news section to go live in the comics section, nor does the girl leaves the comics section to live in the news section, but together they set out on a new adventure. We don’t change what’s deep in our heart, what we are. In a relationship, we don’t stop being ourselves. It is about building something new through the coexistence between two people who “ are no longer two, but one flesh” (Mt 19:6). We must express them just like the other person has the right to express his or hers. It’s not about giving up our own wishes and desires. We cannot build anything in a relationship, especially in marriage, if we don’t go out and give of ourselves. And he finds a way to share it through love. The journalist in the short film prefers to live in the news section, he’s comfortable there, but in reality, he doesn’t have anything to write or talk about, there’s nothing of worth in his life, until he shares it with someone else. I believe there are some elements in this short film worth reflecting upon.įirst, we must accept that love, lived seriously, changes our plans. And yes, this is an appropriate topic for a Catholic Resources website.

Today I present to you a romantic short film about a journalist who falls in love with a girl in the comics section.
