Not a New York Love Story

Returning from the cemetery where his wife was buried following a car accident, a New Yorker mad with grief returns home and finds there, to his great surprise, the one he loves alive and well. Then follow several appearances of the deceased, who always disappears as suddenly as she resurfaces. Between sessions at the shrink where he tries to disentangle fantasy and reality, the man follows his beloved on psychedelic escapades through the Big Apple where they relive together the happiest moments of their history, from the first meeting in Grand Central until sunset at Coney Island. Is she a ghost come to haunt him? Is he hallucinating? Has he lost his mind? But then why does it all look so real? Where does reality end and the dream begin?

Dream or reality? Julian Voloj’s tale plays tricks on your mind and your emotions but never loses his way through a powerful but simple story about two people forever intwined.
Andreas Gefe’s art brings a mix of fine art and raw expressiveness with a muted color palette that puts New York at the center of the story.
NOT A NEW YORK LOVE STORY is not a romantic comedy. It’s a drama, a tale of two lost souls with “the Big Apple” as its witness. The kind of story you’ll need to read twice to peel its many layers.
