A film about the different ways of loving and being loved. Maybe we love? Maybe no?
But also on musical creation; the characters with varied feelings and expressions which evolve on a musical staff represent musical notes, musical phrases.
The ending suggests that the different skits in the film represent phases of the composer's imagination or mood.
