Description
Andric and his girlfriend Laura have been seeing each other for a long time now but it isn't clear what each sees in the other. Self-absorbed, delusional or just a regular couple? 'Big Love is primarily a critique of contemporary society, in which the triumph of liberal democracy has increased rather than diminished the Kafkaesque aspects of life.' - Charles Sabatos.
