Het Liefdesinterbellum

“Lot lost her mother not long ago and has no parental safety net due to her father’s indifference. Her life is characterised by a succession of more or less insignificant love affairs. Thus, she fills the void left by her mother with light-hearted nocturnal amusement and short or somewhat longer relationships. An old street performer, an alcoholic, someone with mental problems. People with their own problems and addictions.

But in the step that follows is the crux: after the breakdown of such a relationship, Lot invariably grieves so hard and heartbreakingly in her anti-squatting flat that she is, in a sense, reliving the grieving for her mother. Remourning, she calls it. Unlike for real grief, there always seems to be a cure for this remourning: after all, in every night, in every café, at the end of this ‘love interbellum’ lie new adventures that can fill the emptiness in Lot’s life and keep the deeper pain at bay.”
