Me, you, and Everyone we know

'Me and You and Everyone We Know' is an original, poetic and penetrating observation of how people struggle to connect with one another in an isolating and contemporary world.

The movie contains many memorable scenes such as the demise of a poor goldfish accidentally left on the roof of a family car, leaving you feeling more sorry for a dollar store goldfish than you ever had before. Another story line follows two teenage girls trying to be grown ups by enticing a man into leaving lewd notes on his front window.

And those lewd notes bring me to yesterday: I was leading my team meeting and was showing our latest business results through a projector on a big screen. While presenting an 'intruiging' pie chart, all of a sudden a window pops-up on the big screen for all in the room to see with the text 'Hi Marcello, I miss you'. I hesitated, the five seconds that the window was visible felt like 5 minutes, and after the window disappeared I continued, pretending that nobody in the room had seen the message.

Since seeing the movie 'Divorce Italian style', my girl-friend sometimes refers to me as 'Marcello'...
