It might seem made up, a caution tale then a true story, or something surreal and far off, as if real life had nothing to do with the pictures in the comic-strip or character with people we see every day on metro or bus. But I can assure you that olivia and Martin´s story is real and the characters in it aren´t from another planet or figment of someone´s imagination. The main characters could be any of those girls or boys you see each day around school or down at the local shopping center. People you know, girls who fall for boys who seem lovely at first, but then start thinking they own the girl, that she belongs to him... and they stop being lovely and turn violent.
