Europe, She Loves

In order to build a life elsewhere, twentysomething Penny is considering to leave both her hometown Thessaloniki and her boyfriend Niko, who is satisfied with delivering pizzas. In Tallin, Veronica struggles through the night as a go-go dancer while keeping her patchwork family together by day. Siobhan and Terry try to escape – at times even without the use of drugs – the drudgery of daily life in Dublin. Finally, in Seville, Juan and Caro have just fallen in love; both refuse to think about the future. Europe seems to be in a state of turmoil and all that is left for the young is a quest for security and withdrawal into their own private worlds. Zurich-based filmmaker Jan Gassmann teamed up with cinematographer Ramon Giger and travelled the length and breadth of Europe to capture the realities of life faced by four couples.
