Overview:

A few years after "I Don't Know If It's Everyone", Vincent Delerm continues his documentary and sensitive exploration of feelings in a second film, this time tackling the most vibrant of all: the feeling of love. Delerm operates alone and grabs his camera to explore women and men, anonymous, artists, acquaintances or friends, in the spring or winter of their lives, all dissimilar but all in unison when it comes to evoking with delicacy, emotion or humor their relationships with the vertigo of love.
