Kristofers and Sofija, committed only to each other, went from dance partners to romantic partners. Alīna and Jegors, on the other hand, are trying to balance stability, freedom and scheduling within their open relationships. Meanwhile Niks, tired of casual sexual encounters, is still searching for the right man, as well as for his place in society.

Through visual observations, street interviews and intimate conversations, the film Love Is explores how young people in Riga experience and view intimacy, relationships and love in the internet age. It captures the complexities and peculiarities of forming romantic relationships today, asking young people a simple yet timeless question: what is love?
