In un gruppo di persone, un uomo vede una donna sconosciuta che con un gesto quasi impercettibile sembra volersi isolare dagli altri. Commosso, Yair le scrive, proponendole un rapporto profondo/aperto, libero da qualsiasi vincolo, ma esclusivamente epistolare. Più che una proposta è un'implorazione e Myriam ne resta colpita, forse sedotta. Un mondo privato si crea così fra loro, ognuno dei due offre all'altro ciò che mai avrebbe osato dare ad alcuno, e in questo processo di svelamento Yair e Myriam scoprono l'importanza dell'immaginazione nei rapporti umani e la sensualità che si nasconde nelle parole.

I dolori del giovane Werther è un romanzo epistolare di Johann Wolfgang Goethe pubblicato nel 1774.
