Our loves

Unsere Lieben

Written and directed by Chloé Bruhat and Sascha Quade

From France to Germany, comparing perspectives on the many faces of romantic relationships.

In 2020, as virtual encounters seem to become increasingly commonplace, taboos are falling away and discussions are heating up around polyamory, non-exclusivity in relationships, and gender and relationship fluidity. How are 18-30 year olds, the driving force behind this emotional revolution, experiencing their relationships?

On both sides of the Rhine, there's no shortage of examples to illustrate the diversity of love configurations. Valentin and Zelda met on Tinder, and after experiencing polyamory together, they now wonder about the complexity of the monogamous model. Despite their young age, Adrien and Mélodie have been in love for many years, but sometimes find it difficult to project themselves into the same future together. Meanwhile, Leo and Valeria, two transgender people, live an ordinary, almost heteronormative love.

French director Chloé Bruhat and her German colleague Sascha Quade tenderly give voice to the experiments, discoveries, joys and disappointments of a young generation questioning the codes of love.
