Darius and Nina only have one thing in common


they both loved sex. I mean i get that they had a connection beyond that but they never really explore it in the film. Except the scenes of them running through the park and slow dancing. When did they fall in love?

They connected with their love of art and culture. They discussed music and poetry and all of that. Also, they hung out with his friends and at the poetry club (as evident of the montage that showed them smoking in the bar together). They enjoyed each other's company outside of the sex.

I think it's hard to say or pinpoint exactly why two people fall in love. You can say someone is nice, you like being around them, they make your heart beat faster, you think alike. You can have all these things and two people still not be "in love." I suppose people just know it when they feel it. In this movie, I bought that Darius and Nina were in love completely.

I don't know exactly when they fell in love. I'd have to get up and put the movie in but I think they both realized they had fallen in love around Ninas trip. How they reacted when she got back. I think she realized it before she left to go back home.
