Love

A brutal portrayal of two young women struggling to survive and understand love in a vicious world of poverty and drugs. When a young man enters the arena the girls' lives are thrown into turmoil with devastating results. It's a world where everything comes at a cost. Especially love.

Set in a world of dimly lit backstreets and dingy squats, Patricia Cornelius’ award-winning Love is a searing meditation on the nature of that most powerful human emotion and the forces it unleashes. Here, love defines a world where bodies tenderly touch in the darkness and a kiss can ignite a heart-and yet what most of us want more than anything is also the thing that is capable of destroying us.
