Strange how our mind works. If this scene was happening 100 meters away from the sea shore—imagine a matching soundtrack of seagulls, giggling kids and breaking waves—it would have been perfectly okay, while when it takes place in mid Bucharest we shudder with repugnance and look the other way.

Context overrides everything. Or maybe it's just too hot for an open-your-mind moment. Time for an afternoon nap.
