A study of relationships and the patterns of behaviour that repeatedly manifest themselves in life, the working title was Bad Timing. “I was wondering, is there a set pattern for how things always go, in relationships and in life in general? Why is it that every so often one of you is ready for an encounter, but the other is not?” Saarinen explains the creative process. This is a general document.
