Summary

The film follows the development of love relationships in various parts of the globe: in Indonesia, the Himalayas, North India, Russia, Poland and France. Among the two different tribes of the Indonesian islands, people have different patterns of marriage: a Korowai man lives with one woman while his neighbour Dani has three wives; among the nomads of the northern Himalayas, a woman has two husbands, as in North India, where a woman lives with two men; in Russia, an intelligent woman has two partners, in Poland, a man alternately loves four women, and in France, a young couple creates their first truly important relationship on the margins of society. All these people live on our planet at the same time but in different places, sometimes separated from each other by nature that cannot be penetrated, but more often – separated by the different ways in which they organize their daily lives.
