In India, most marriages are arranged. Love is not necessarily taken into account. It is neither something to which one aspires, nor a necessary condition for happiness. One must follow one's destiny. Love marriages are still an exception. Arranged marriages serve for the best the interests of the families, safeguard the values from one generation to the other. But how can love, how con whole lives be the business of families and not of oneself ? In this first person narrative documentary, the director tries, as she encounters her Indian friends, to approach and define what love can be like when one is not given a choice.
