 Linda is a Nurse. She works hard. She is married.
Serge is a bum. He carries a large blue sports bag.
To the same suburban park bench they return, at dusk, night after night, compelled by love, hope, desolation and the avoidance of responsibility - the world beyond them seems incoherent and alienating. elmo is the follow up to bunny in the Trilogy of Love Stories.
