Love Songs

2007 · 90 min

A bittersweet, song-filled meditation on love and loss that feels both theatrical and painfully intimate.

Tagline: When hearts beat to the rhythm of melody.
Overview: Ismael and Julie, in the hope of sparking their stalled relationship, enter a playful yet emotionally laced threesome with Alice. When tragedy strikes, these young Parisians are forced to deal with the fragility of life and love.
