Baby (Glória Pires), a chain-smoking guitar teacher in her 40s, craves for a romantic relationship. When musician MAX (Paulo Miklos) moves in the apartment next door, she sees in him the possibility of turning her lonely life around. She instead finds herself unexpectedly involved in a love triangle that leads to a terrible jealous rage. A bad time to give up smoking. Love, sex, agony, death… Anna Muylaert’s SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES balances the fine line between comedy and tragedy, taking its characters on a journey to and from the dark side. Just like in life, they end up bruised, but better human beings in the long run.
