Music and romantic imagery merge in this poetic tapestry of romantic scenes set to a haunting soundtrack by Austrian indie band Naked Lunch. Love is everywhere, and whether you're from New York or Japan there's no denying that you've felt it in the air. Some folks enjoy it in the form of long-term relationships, while others thrive on the rush of a lightning strike affair. Whether it's the girl in Marseille who longs for her lover, the couple fighting for their lives on the streets of Belgrade, the jealous Brooklyn taxi driver, or the smitten man outside of a Tokyo soup kitchen, each of the people featured in Universalove have their own unique form of heartache, and their own distinct plans for making love work.
