Paris




Paris was the cross road for few of the LoveTrips characters. Matt and Ines are not french nevertheless they met there because Ines is a choreographer and doing a residency in the city.
Cyril and Amandine are both from Paris, but only Cyril travels to keep his love alive. Amandine told us the story of how the distance at one point was simply too much...

Many stories spring from love and especially from hindered love. As times goes, and filming proceeds, these stories start weaving the film together.

Lisbon

Lisbon was quite an experience. The heat, the steep roads, the difficulties in finding a place to conduct an interview when you can't interview in a military barrack... but, but the light was special. It might have been the proximity to the Ocean or the autumn at the door... who knows. What I know is that I'm being lucky as all the people that I meet are as splendid. In Lisbon I met Natalia and Pedro together for the few intense days that a long distance relationships allows. I met also Ricardo, longing for a day that will eventually come when he'll live with his Hannah.

Here are some more frames from the footage:
