A lyrical, multi-perspective portrait of young love across five countries, built on intimate character moments and visual beauty rather than plot.

Love at Twenty unites five directors from five different countries to present their different perspectives on what love really is at the age of 20. The episodes are united with the score of Georges Delerue and still photos of Henri Cartier-Bresson.
