Synopsis
Nine people, men and women between 17 and 70 reflect upon their lives and open their hearts... They try to find their own very personal definition of the meaning of ‘love’. The filmmaker Chrys Hamer has interviewed her protagonists in a timeframe of 5 years and presents the interview situations in unembellished form, in absence of additional scenic regalia. The people that are being questioned are artists, writers, filmmakers, camera people, politicians. They talk about romantic and erotic love, of the pressures imposed by conformity, of self love, neurosis, fears and liberation. In this film, the act of listening becomes an adventure, an unrelenting journey into the internal worlds of its protagonists. In taking turns in front of the camera, thinking, reflecting and remembering, life stories of love develop. The spectator follows how love has been experienced, perceived and lived, how it changes in the duration of life, and how love has changed the person. These are nine completely different narratives, while there is something that all these seem to have in common: while irrational, love seems to have a central meaning for each one - from birth till death and even in surpassing it.
