Bye-Bye Love

Summary

Sophie, a video-artist, decides to dedicate her new project to the moment when love died. In order to cast her new work, she publishes an ad in the newspaper seeking 25 to 35 year-old women - divorcees and mothers. She chooses seven women from among all those who respond to her ad.  All of them are mothers who have separated from their children's fathers.  She then invites them to an elegant dinner, inspired by the Red Table of Sophie Calle, (a well-know French artist), where the women participate in a video performance in which the issue of the death of love and the disintegration of the nuclear family are explored. Terms such as happiness, loneliness, belonging and couple-life are used as seven heart-breaking personal stories unfold. For the film, seven beautiful, strong, talented actresses, who had indeed surrendered their own dreams of preserving the family framework and had opted for a new life, were chosen. The blurred distinction between the authentic and the acted, the personal and the universal, is an important element in Bye -Bye Love arousing a sense of identification
