Told in a collage of sound and vision, “Oh you pretty things” chronicles the enchantment and disintegration of a relationship built on very different and questionable drives. Recounted through the experiences of two nameless characters in metropolitan New York, the minimal dialogue, ambient moods, engaging narration and sweeping music that make up “Oh, you pretty things” allow the observer to interpret the unique synergy of couples and the varying perception each person has to a shared situation. The ensuing emotional complexity ultimately asks the question: What is love?
