Two women talk sarcastically about finding their one true love while soaking in a bath and topping up their glasses with wine bought at the local shop. Meanwhile in a kitchen, a young man wallows in his past and relives the story of his divorce. In the bedroom, a woman speaks about her infidelity. In the living room, a young woman analyses herself saying that relationships have always been a measure of her self-worth. 20 young people’s stories about romantic love and the large variety of emotional tonalities that it covers.
Because of its interview format, this film can be seen as a cross-section of Danish society; an anthropological study captured on film of what it really means to be together with someone and to love them. Speaking in the first person, Danes in their twenties and thirties of different sexualities, ethnicities, and genders reveal the poetry, the sadness, and the reality of contemporary romantic love: infatuation, eye contact at the gym, sex, dating, detaching, proposing in Venice, cynicism, a body screaming “no” – this genre, which we’re calling love, has it all.
Foreword by the programme curator: An honest, provocative, surprising, yet comforting collection of contemporary tales of young love in various domestic settings.
