**Screenwriter**: Dag Johan Haugerud **Producers**: Hege Hauff Hvattum, Yngve Sæther Marianne, a pragmatic doctor, and Tor, a compassionate nurse, are both avoiding conventional relationships. One evening, after a blind date, Marianne encounters Tor on the ferry. Tor, who often spends his nights there seeking casual encounters with men, shares his experiences of spontaneous intimacy. Intrigued by his perspective, Marianne begins to explore whether casual intimacy could also be an option for her. *“Norwegian helmer Dag Johan Haugerud has created a thought-provoking, mesmerizing queer-and-sex-positive gem with his fourth feature, “Love.”…The film is audacious in its non-judgmental approach to different kinds of intimacy.”* – Frank J. Avella, *Edge Media Network* *“Employing the same sense of endearing, blunt loquaciousness which defined the earlier chapter, there’s an even greater level of profundity.”* –Nicholas Bell, *IONCINEMA.com* *“Haugerud is fascinated by his characters and lets his actors carry the weight of the film, allowing them time to explore, express themselves, and challenge each other in ways that don’t lead to conflict.”* – John Bleasdale, *Next Best Picture* *Love* is part of the *Sex-Love-Dreams* trilogy of director Dag Johan Haugerud.
