Synopsis

Love Bound uncovers the unconditional love, which governs the relationship most parents have to their children and that must somehow be altered, when a child is suffering from mental illness. There is an extreme uncertainty connected to loving and living with a person who is mentally ill – who can change rapidly within the course of their illness and perhaps become suicidal or aggressive. This means that many caregivers find themselves struggling with maintaining a “normal“ life for themselves - keeping their job, having a social life and taking care of their own health. This film is shot behind closed doors, inside the confidentiality of the therapy room. Over a period of months a group of parents share their joys and sorrows and come to realise that they are all in the same boat riding the same chaotic storm. Love Bound is an intense and intimate film which emanates from a space, where parents struggle to find the balance between taking care of their children and not burning out. At the core of the film lies the dilemma of how much you must let go of yourself in order to save your kin.
