Love – to one’s family, to a woman, to a friend, to a homeland, to art, and etc manifests itself in different shapes. To be without love is like being a walking, breathing corpse. Love creates, Love changes, Love is born, and it dies... and of course it demands sacrifices. Those who struggle for their loves, dedicate their whole loves to it, those who forgive, and are ready to face anything, even death for it are people with big hearts. But in the outside, they seem to be In Between. Right in the middle. Maybe that’s for the best. This can be decided only after watching the films.
