FOR LOVE

Anna longs for love but unconsciously repeats her mother’s manipulative patterns - until a terminally ill man and his devoted wife show her a true love that changes everything.

Thirty-year-old neurologist Anna was denied her mother’s love, so she tries to take it from other people. She would like to find a steady anchor in relationships, but in reality she repeats her mother’s manipulative behavior. She tries to fill her need for acceptance through excessive care for her patients. As an attending physician, she meets Ján, who is terminally ill with ALS, and his loving wife, Mariana. Anna attempts to make them dependent on her help. At the same time, she is captivated by the purity of their relationship, something she has never experienced. This encounter with true love will change the course of her life.
