Why do we fall in love? The 5,000-Year Journey of Love: From the Lovers of Valdaro to Online Desires

Описание: #lovedocumentary #loveandcapitalism #lovestory
Love… It is as old as human history, the most powerful and complex emotion that has evolved alongside civilizations; a journey spanning from the first figures on cave walls to medieval courtly love, from Renaissance paintings to modern novels, and from there to digital screens.
Love has sometimes been a divine secret, sometimes a battle, and sometimes the most dazzling display of capitalism. In ancient Greece, it was a quest to lead the soul to wisdom, in the Middle Ages, it was the path to God, in the Romantic era, it was the individual's dream of freedom.
So, what happened during this long historical journey? How did love, once a divine bond, become a digital experience that begins and ends with a click?
This story is about the history of love: from myths to modernity, from sacredness to algorithms, and to capitalism's transformation of love into a commodity that can be bought and sold. We have tried to understand and narrate the evolution of love, the history of emotions, and the transformation of the human heart. The thousands of years of this incredible emotion’s history await discovery.
