How do we want to love?
It's complicated

Love is diverse and complicated, sensual and erotic, selfish, selfless, passionate, tender, painful - all regardless of whether it is reciprocated or not. Love is a wide field. The author team Frank Diederichs, Annebeth Jacobsen and Achim Scheunert set out through the vast landscapes of love. Emmy award winner Anna Schudt lends her voice to the mini-series Love is diverse and complicated, sensual and erotic, selfish, selfless, passionate, tender, painful - all regardless of whether it is reciprocated or not.

Emmy award winner Anna Schudt lends her voice to the mini-series How do we want to love?

 

The series closes with episode 3 - its title: It's complicated... Because that is exactly the question we ask ourselves at the end of our journey - after we have liberated love and sex - everyone and anyone can seemingly love, live and have sex the way he or she wants - why is it still so complicated. We roam through the Swiss forest with men - they are searching for their masculinity - want to find a way to deal with themselves, women and love. They are insecure, the role models are no longer clearly defined, is how they feel - that makes it complicated. At the oldest singles party in Germany, "Fisch sucht Fahrrad...?", it seems easier - here it is clear that people are looking for love and are open - yet many go home alone. Youtuber Valentina Vapaux also fights her way through the jungle of love - from straight to bisexual - from breaking up in front of the camera to moving to the countryside: "I'm moving to a small town because I don't want to be constantly overwhelmed any more. I long for deceleration." That is perhaps also the conclusion of this series - deceleration is the longing - love remains as it is - complicated and simple at the same time. We don't want to give up the new freedoms - but it doesn't make it easy either.
