Bruce thought he had everything. A stable life, a beautiful girlfriend. But he still felt dead inside. And he found himself at a crossroads, with no idea what to do with the rest of his life. Lily had always been told she was crazy. Most people saw her as naive and childish. But she'd managed to get into a major college, far away from her old life. And she'd met a nice guy, Bruce, who she knew liked her ... though his girlfriend would never approve of that. Rhonda was worried. She was deeply in love with Bruce, but had never felt secure with him. He was immature, for one thing, irrational and silly. But her main worry was that in a college relationship, nothing lasts forever. Will he just pack up and leave after graduation? Would he pack up and leave her now? Why couldn't he just give her a straight answer? And what the hell was he doing with that Lily girl anyway? People always told Clifford he was funny. Even women thought he was funny. But they didn't want to go out with him. ...

Delight

December 2013 •Czech

The film's main theme is obsession. An obsession with love, with art, originality, copying, with success, money and... with oneself. Sooner or later, if we lose our rational upper hand over it and let ourselves be dragged down by it, every obsession leads to destruction. But it is only when being dragged down, in spite of all the cuts and bruises, that we find a unique DELIGHT, if only for a few short moments - and what else is life really about? It is like a drug. What at first seems to be weak and trivial is capable of expanding and growing into a serious problem that can appear to be absolutely incomprehensible and absurd to those who have never experienced anything like it.
