PLOT SUMMARY
Three emotionally immature young men try to run a camp for couples who are struggling to mend their broken relationships.
More details:
Love Building is a comedy whose action takes place in a camp meant to „mend” romantic relationships that reached a critical point. The camp’s trainers, three psychotherapists, try to help fourteen couples rebuild their love stories. On the course of seven days, the trainees go through different stages of repairing the relationships. But the three trainers meant to assist them have their own problems, and things slowly get out of hand. In a rat race towards the „and they lived happily ever after”, a question arises: „Can you fix love in 7 days?”
What critics say:
„Love Building is playfully intelligent, it has a complicity with the spectator, to whom it seems to whisper: we’re all in a game, we fix what we can, you know how hard life is.”
