6 - The Lovers

The Fool hesitates before crossing a bridge. A young couple are sitting in the middle discussing the nature of love.

In their movements they mirror one another. But when one points to the road on either side of the bridge, the other points to the river running beneath it.

The Fool can wait no longer and crosses the bridge regardless.

They don't notice him. He looks back as they continue to chatter, gesticulate and test one another's arguments.
