“Love is not a matter of generosity, but about desires and feelings.” KSK
What does loneliness mean for a couple? Is dialogue an effective remedy for lies, hypocrisy, and misunderstanding in love life? In 21st century Japan, the characters embody the dreams and the disillusionment of the Japanese women torn between modernity and traditions where love, dedication, and sacrifice revolve around marriage. It’s also a story that attempts to illustrate the universal human condition. Love beyond reason is the English translation of the French drama “On peut s’aimer sans se comprendre” by the French academy award winning author Kama Sywor Kamanda.
