ALL THAT WE LOVE

Α study on how cinema can transform even the most mundane into the exceptional meticulously capturing the everyday situations of urgent emotional need. After the death of the family dog, a woman on the threshold of middle age is confronted with the pull of the void: The once familiar warm nest has been left bereft, its temperature changed, the satellites of her life have altered course, and she is forced to take a closer look at the relationships that have been left on ice. Her estranged ex-husband returns to the USA when his career in Singapore collapses, moving in with his sister; their young daughter falls in love and decides to follow her beloved to Australia, without waiting for her mother’s approval; her best friend copes with his own grief through a lifestyle makeover, even if it doesn't align with any sense of moderation; as for one of her colleagues who fosters animals, she offers her another four-legged friend to soothe her woes. A heartfelt yet poignant portrayal of the melancholy that accompanies every new beginning, introducing us to a wonderful bunch of characters and dissecting universal themes with insightful humor: aging, friendship, parenthood, mortality, past loves, second chances and the profound connection to the non-human. A film that teaches us precisely how to love "all that we love."
