Eros enters your life on wings
and launches your mind on a story.
— Socrates
TRUE HEARTS
Filmmaker Deborah Dickson goes on the road to explore the maddening complexities of romantic love by talking to friends, strangers and former lovers. Part essay, part memoir, TRUE HEARTS celebrates falling in love and tries to understand how to make it last.
“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
