“A man loves his girlfriend the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.”Old Irish Proverb.

HIS & HERS IS A CINEMATIC MOSAIC THAT TELLS A 90-YEAR-OLD LOVE STORY THROUGH THE COLLECTIVE VOICE OF 70 LADIES AT DIFFERENT STAGES IN THEIR LIVES.
 
The hallways, living rooms, and kitchens of the Irish midlands become the canvas for the film’s rich tapestry of female characters. The story unfolds sequentially from young to old, and the characters are charmingly unabashed; while the younger contributors are animated in discussing their relationships with their other halves, the older women describe their love, and often their bereft love, with grace and candor.
       
His & Hers celebrates the ordinary moments that add up to the extraordinary. Individually each piece works on its own, but together they create an emotional portrait that explores the way we share life’s journey with others.
