Synopsis
Faced with the reality that her only child will flee the nest for college, film-funder turned first-time filmmaker Lyda Kuth gets anxious not only about how her daughter will fare in today’s world of love and romance, but also about her relationship with her husband of 20 years. What will life be like after her daughter leaves? What is the real meaning of love, marriage, long-term commitment? She asks young people and experts, including marriage scholar Stephanie Coontz, about their successes and failures of the heart. Love and Other Anxieties, a midlife story, is both personal and poetic.
