In an alternative 19th-century Paris, a love triangle emerges between a man, a woman, and a coin-operated boy.
A teenager deals with his sister's death by escaping from their tiny Scottish island – but will she let him leave? In 1920s New Orleans, a young girl comes of age in her mother's brothel.
Some of these stories are radical retellings of classic tales, some are modern-day fables, but all explore substitutions for love.
