The time of a pandemic and forced self-isolation can be used as efficiently as possible: take an online course, start playing the piano or do painting by numbers, exercise at least every morning and prepare smoothies for yourself. And you cannot chase productivity, crawl under the covers together and turn on a movie about love. All is fair in dealing with anxiety. For those who want to distract themselves and see something life-affirming, we have collected 5 films to watch about the versatility of the strongest of human feelings.
«Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind»

«Perfect Sens»
The 2011 film with Ewan McGregor and Eva Green playing the lead roles may at first glance be scary: its plot is tied to an unknown disease that is rapidly spreading across the world, changing the usual way of life. But the faster the end of the world approaches, the more the heroes are able to appreciate the simple joys and the time spent together, and the stronger their feelings become.
«I Origins»
This science fiction movie tells not just the story of two people in love, but the story of a kinship.

The main character, played by Joaquin Phoenix, finds salvation from loneliness in communication with artificial intelligence.

Even if she speaks in the beautiful voice of Scarlett Johansson. Light sadness and desire to break away from the screens and return to real life are provided.
«Vicky Cristina Barcelona»
