Gone with the Woman is the story of a man who, without quite knowing how, has his life invaded
by a woman. Then his struggle to deal with this invasion begins: He can either try to
throw the intruder out, or try to adapt. He decides to fall head over heels in love. As he puts
it: «I'll start tomorrow already.» But she already seems to have the upper hand, is always one
small step ahead of him. And he seems to be one step behind. Only a matter of seconds, a few
comments, but still behind – in his own life. He goes from being invaded to being in love to
being abandoned. And just as he is about to forget her - she comes back again. This is a story
about a man who is finally forced to take a stand on how he wants to live his own life – thanks
to the woman.
