Benjour: "I feel like it's really difficult to unblock this, because at this time, he's always vulnerable and he can easily cry" Benjour says she is jealous of some couples who are together in the film. She asks herself if numbness is a problem or just an adaptive response when dealing with pain. The movie has been well-received by Japanese audiences.
In this deeply intimate collaboration with beloved therapist Esther Perel, she dives deep in a couples therapy session with a Ukrainian couple torn apart by the war.
The wife is compelled to leave the country for the sake of her youngest son; the husband and older son are compelled to stay in the warzone for the sake of their country.
Miraculously, even amid unthinkable loss – and maybe especially amid unthinkable loss – love and connection are unrelenting.
Love does impossible things.
