I love you but I prefer myself. A woman chases a man who has just run away from home. The woman holds a baby in her arms. When she reaches the man, she tears a piece of his shirt off and he threatens to beat her, and then runs away again. The baby, now on the ground, tries to catch his mother’s attention who doesn’t see him and who instead leaves him alone in the street.
