Summaries

A hairdresser who has lost her hair to cancer, finds out her husband is having an affair, travels to Italy for her daughter's wedding, and meets a widower who still blames the world for the loss of his wife.

Ida (Trine Dyrholm), a Danish woman who has just finished her cancer treatments, walks in on her long-suffering husband in bed with his young co-worker. She travels alone to their daughter's wedding, which is to take place in Italy, but immediately makes a bad first impression when she meets the father of the groom, Philip (Pierce Brosnan). At the seaside villa where Philip once lived with his wife, conflicts happen--not just between the soon-to-be newlyweds. But first impressions fade, and Ida might find her chance for another life.—Peter Brandt Nielsen

Synopsis

Please note: This is not a Synopsis. It is a Plot Summary.

LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED is a romantic comedy by Oscar winner Susanne Bier written by Susanne Bier and Anders Thomas Jensen, starring Pierce Brosnan and Trine Dyrholm. The film is a warm, funny and life-affirming story about how, just when you think its all over, it just might be about to begin.

With warmth, affection and confidence, Susanne Bier has shaken a cocktail of love, absurdity, humour, raucous dialogue and delicately drawn characters that will leave no heart untouched.

Two very different families meet in a beautiful, old Italian villa, in the middle of a lemon grove. The occasion is a romantic wedding, meticulously planned to the smallest detail. Of course, nothing goes according to plan and yet everything works out in the end.

LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED is a liberatingly different comedy, that will inspire hope in anyone with their heart in the right place.
