Romantic heroines, after all, are supposed to choose emotion over responsibility. But that was when there were suitable romantic heroes. Try as she might, Anna cannot convey the magic and charm she perceives in Leo. To the nonsmitten observer, he seems to be little more than a foul-mouthed idler and sponge, an unmitigated egotist who is capable of remarking, when Anna tells him that their lovemaking has resulted in pregnancy, "I'm just not anxious...

...after. The digital watch gives you precision, but leaves you wondering where you are. Analog is a return to a certain harmony that the digital world chops away.
