Small connections make the world go 'round in these shorts from Spain, Japan and the Ukraine, to name a few. Ex-lovers reunite, an apartment building romance ignites and somehow buying a used dresser becomes sexy. Losing touch is part of it too, when a circus love triangle falls apart, a bookish girl loses her first love and a lonely writer can't keep pace with her corporate-minded girlfriend.
