Synopsis


A young couple have just begun to say »I Love You«. But does it mean anything, and is the sentiment true? The animated documentary I Love Youplayfully records their reactions to this statement. Using a dazzling combination of freestyle abstract and rotoscoped animation mixed with a jazzy soundtrack, this experimental, colourful short portrays the playful and melancholy emotions of young love.
