Opera or Operetta :: Love Counts details the unlikely liaison between Avril, a university mathematics lecturer, and Patsy, a middle weight fighter at the end of his career, who cannot read or recognise numbers. With no education outside the boxing ring, he can barely write his name. From a chance encounter, a friendship develops. Learning that the muscles and mumbling mask a gentle character, Avril falls in love - an intense bond based on trust and surrender, on numbers and honesty. But, will it be enough to keep him away from the ring?
