They Wanted to Be Loved This film is an oniric exploration of memory. Silent, deserted places are linked with texts that convey the narrative of a vague love story. A couple visits places around an unknown city. While they slowly get to know each other, the places they visit guard a memory of their encounter. The film's meditative form pulls the spectator into a dream-like state of trance, for in between presence, past and imagination, love is a dimension hard to grasp. See More
