Overview
This documentary goes beneath the surface of our favorite films, seeking to better understand the way we view love, relationships, and romance.

Helped by a chorus of critics, actors, and filmmakers, and original songs by her band Summer Camp, director Elizabeth Sankey embarks on a journey of investigation and self-discovery.
