What’s involved in love? Power, control – is that what we’re talking about.This film is about love – relations between men and women, conversations in the air. Men are heard in voice-over speaking a love-talk that is personal, though anonymous, or singular. Another voice-over reads parables that present a context for the possibility of love or spirit in the world at large. The film ends optimistically: A smile slowly spreads on a man’s face, women address men in their own voices. – B.S.’He stored the Divine Light in a vessel, but the vessel, unable to contain the Holy Radiance, burst, and its shards permeated with sparks of the Divine, scattered thru the Universe.’ – Adele Wiseman.
