‘They lived happily ever after and died together one day’, that’s how all the love stories Pola Rader used to listen to as a child end (* Russian variant). But what’s the ending of these ‘love stories’ in reality? Romanticization of love’s notion and its dispute with harsh reality are the baseline for the film that takes an in-depth look at how and to what extent the cultural image of love designates our consciousness. This visual manifesto recreates an idealized image of an imperfect relationship, using the romantic aesthetic. The film analyses an almost invisible difference between myths and reality in our heads and combines in this documentary footage with hyperbolic staged romantic scenes. Turning to her personal experience, Pola Rader considers the romantic relationship of two people based on the example of her parents. When she was little, they loved each other; in her teens they broke up; now that she is an adult, they’re together again, with the experience of what they’ve been through before. Her parents and she tried to find out the visual images associated with their romantic relationship and recreated these scenes in front of the camera.
