The film

Eleven theories of love, and the people who held them

In October 2019, director Armen Pogosyan and host Oksana Maria Lorczak filmed long, open interviews with eleven people in Stockholm about attraction, sex, fidelity and love. Each sat alone in front of the camera and laid out a private theory of how love works. The footage was never released.

In 2026 we went back. Ten of the eleven sat down again.

This is not a survey of modern love. It is ten people meeting who they were. Some have turned into the opposite of their younger selves. Some are surprisingly the same. Some catch their younger selves in a lie, and forgive them.

01

The same questions

Each person answers their own 2019 questions again, without seeing the old footage.

02

The playback

With the camera rolling, they watch their 2019 interview for the first time.

03

The mirror

Straight after, they talk to us about the person they have just watched.
