Summary In India with its 1.2 billion inhabitants love counts as a daring new feature. In a society divided by caste and clan systems the parents choose their offspring's suitable partners. If a girl and a boy fall in love without permission they usually have no choice but to elope. If they get caught the family retaliate with an 'honour killing'. It is such a disgrace for the family that they say the best solution is to shed the blood of the indecent daughter or son: they kill their own children. Honour killings are ordinary in India. The killers are hardly prosecuted and although everybody knows about the killings few do anything to stop them. Somewhere in a shabby back alley in New Delhi is where the Love Commando operates. They rescue and hide escaped couples in their secret hide-outs. The majority of the couples want to start a new life in a far away corner of India, far from the shadow of the vendetta. The Hungarian filmmakers became acquainted with the story of couples on the run and the warriors of the love commando in such a hide-out. Later they met parents who were looking for their children so that they can murder them. A handful of fighters' modern war on ancient tradition.
