While Sigmund is always away on business, Maria juggles her career with childcare and managing the home. Like many other relationships, theirs was also all about love and harmony in the early stages, however, after years of married life, the cracks started to appear. Sigmund is ultimately the one to ask for a divorce, and Maria is forced to confront her greatest fears.
This family drama begins as an enchantment, but a few years later the family gradually cracks, and the mother, Maria, through whom the problems arrive, doesn’t understand why. She clashes with her husband, children and her mother. Everyone is guilty. We follow her in a painful path from her guilt and fears to her attempt to self- knowledge and the realization of unconscious patterns in herself. It is after a long personal journey and a help of a psychologist that resilience comes, and she discovers the possibility of faith, hope and love in her life. Loveable also addresses the themes of equality and femininity. The film’s fragmented narrative is in perfect harmony with its themes. The playful use of montage and the non-linear storytelling makes it not only a deep human study, but also a remarkable piece of contemporary cinema.
