Synopsis

Two families go on holiday to Germany together. Whilst the children are lost in their own world of innocence and discovery, secrets between the two adult couples begin to unravel.

An approach to local history unfolding. The film foregrounds quiet, tender engagement, forms of love, absence, and ritual. A deliberate lack of language underlines recurring inadequacies to express uproot and deeply felt emotions engendered.
A LOVE considers individual and collective loss, value, and necessity for communal recognition.
