In Praise of Love

In this thought-provoking film, an unseen narrator delves into the intricacies of love by examining four pivotal stages through the lens of three different couples: a young, an adult, and an elderly pair. The enigmatic storyteller is always accompanied by a devoted servant, adding to the narrative's air of mystery. Intertwined with this tale of love is another storyline set two years prior, where an American civil servant collaborates with an aged French couple who valiantly fought in the Resistance during World War II. They negotiate a deal that grants Hollywood the rights to recount their inspiring experiences. This agreement sets off a series of intense discussions within the family regarding national identity, collective memory, and historical interpretation. Through these interconnected narratives, the film explores love's various facets while simultaneously reflecting on how stories are told and remembered across generations.
