Counterpoint

A man is struggling with melancholy. At first, he sees a ray of light at the end of the tunnel. It gives him hope for a bright future. That ray of light is a girl. The grayness of the city beckons and seduces with its romanticism, but soon becomes an unbearable burden for a creative personality. The person adored by the protagonist turns out to be unattainable, and the city throws chains around him. Loneliness. Cigarettes. Concrete.
