Project info

Director Alan Zweig's relationship with women surfaced in his first autobiographical documentary, Vinyl, and sat a little further in the background of his second, I, Curmudgeon. Without quite meaning to, he found himself building what he calls "The Mirror Trilogy" — and knew there had to be one more personal film, this time about women, and the challenge of finding love.

As in his previous two autobiographical films, Zweig heads out into the world to compare his own experiences against other people's, searching for what he can learn from them. That's never been truer than here. He has plenty of stories, and has told them plenty of times — and yet there's no subject on which he's more aware of how little he actually knows.
