All we need is love
In Need of Love
Love has many faces. Is love merely a game we engage in and play? Can we love the forbidden or even the unwanted parts of ourselves? Love, in all its diversity, is a powerful force that connects us, heals us, and drives us forward. These animated films present different perspectives on love, highlighting its ability to warm hearts and offer hope. They suggest that genuine love, in any form, is all we truly need.
