The film tells the story of Marlena, who struggles with a serious marital crisis due to the alcohol addiction of her husband. Via the Internet, she meets Bruno, a Senegalese, who brings back her self-confidence and sense of womanhood.
However, it turns out that the man plans something rather different for her than building a relationship with her.
According to the production team’s publicity materials, “the film is inspired by true events and touches upon the overwhelming problem of how modern technologies affect people’s lives today.”

“Pour l’amour” was one of more than 140 films in the race for awards at the Brooklyn Festival.

The film went on general release in Poland a week ago.
