An alleged idyll, bombed by squadrons of lethal fighter pilots, pictured in stereotypes – an image of war, as we know it from films. In front of this, a young American couple exchanges intimacies. “We’ll be safe. They are aiming for strategic targets.” The sirens are wailing. The image of war is dissolved into that of a romantic backdrop, of normality – surreal, somewhere between Kubrick and everyday life. “I love you like I love the bomb.”
