description: Here, in the anguished story of a straight line who falls in love with a dot, is a romance destined to take its place among the immortal works of our literature. But is it merely a poignant and exquisite evocation of an eternal theme? A sensitive, soul-searching examination of an essential problem? Or is it rather, in these uncertain times when man stands alienated from the very meaning of life itself, more like a beacon -- a shaft of light illuminating a path to some higher understanding? We doubt it.
