Eros enters your life on wings
and launches your mind on a story.

— Socrates

TRUE HEARTS

This deeply personal documentary, True Hearts, plunges into the beautiful, maddening contradiction of romantic love.  Weaving together candid interviews, philosophical essay, and poignant memoir the filmmaker embarks on a dizzying, documentary quest to solve the enigma of romantic love.  A film about love and loss. 

“A friend came to see me in a dream, from far away. And I asked in the dream, ‘did you come by photograph or train?’

All photographs are a form of transport and an expression of absence.”

—John Berger
