A husband’s unsuccessful attempt on his wife’s life leads the couple on a touching journey to rediscover the essence of their relationship.
After Love is a sharp, deeply humane look at what happens when a long relationship suddenly slips off its well-worn script. Mehri and Kamal have spent decades together building a life defined by loyalty, habit, and mutual care. Lately, the rhythms that once sustained them feel offbeat, and affection comes tangled with frustration in unexpected ways.
A wildly uncomfortable night sends Mehri looking for space and Kamal scrambling to keep up, setting off a chain of events that turns a private marital crisis into something far more revealing. What follows isn’t a breakup story or a chase, but a strange recalibration, as the two find themselves navigating unfamiliar emotional ground with no clear map.
The arrival of their grandson Nathan changes everything. Bold, curious, and gloriously unfiltered, he brings a jolt of youthful energy that cuts through old defenses and invites honesty where there was once avoidance. Through him, Mehri and Kamal are nudged into seeing each other (and themselves) with fresh eyes, as long-buried family truths begin to surface in unexpected ways.
Balancing uncomfortable laughs with genuine warmth, After Love is a lively, surprising meditation on connection, reinvention, and the stubborn joy of staying curious about the people we think we already know. Intimate and full of life, it’s a film about love not as a finished story, but as something that keeps changing, no matter how long you’ve been telling it.
