The Look of Love

Love can change the perception of our surroundings completely. We have all experienced the world in a pink haze, when we felt recognized by another, and loved for who we really are. That we idealize our loved ones is also quite clear. But then, love is a power, that can exist beyond death and even when the magic is over, the blindness overcome, it still stays strong in our memory. Five films about love.
