L'amore è il perché

Synopsis of L'amore è il perché

The life of each of us has been touched by love, with its lights and shadows: the first immature infatuations, the illusions that make us fly and then fall, the wounds that leave marks, and the lukewarm relationships that anesthetize rather than ignite. With an ironic and intimate gaze, Massimo Gramellini weaves together personal memories, dialogues with friends, divorces, losses, and rebirths, giving us a story that touches on the universal themes of affectivity: possession and attachment, betrayal and jealousy. It is an inner journey that oscillates between the desire for an absolute love, capable of transforming and shaking us, and the fear of getting hurt. Through this path, thanks also to the fundamental encounter with Plato and Greek myths, the narrative becomes a story of sentimental education and existential and spiritual growth: the story of all of us, who yearn for love, despair for love, and sometimes give it up, without ever fully grasping its elusive nature as a true, intimate need that coincides with the deepest dream that dwells in us all.
