“Charlyne Yi does not believe in love. Or so she says. Well, at the very least, she doesn’t believe in fairy-tale love or the Hollywood mythology of love, and her own experiences have turned her into yet another modern-day skeptic.

PAPER HEART follows Charlyne as she embarks on a quest across America to make a documentary about the one subject she doesn’t fully understand. As she and her good friend (and director) Nicholas search for answers and advice about love, Charlyne talks with friends and strangers, scientists, bikers, romance novelists, and children. They each offer diverse views on modern romance, as well as various answers to the age-old question: does true love really exist?

Then, shortly after filming begins, Charlyne meets a boy after her own heart: Michael Cera. As their relationship develops on camera, her pursuit to discover the nature of love takes on a fresh new urgency. Charlyne risks losing the person she finds closest to her heart.

Combining elements of documentary and traditional storytelling, reality and fantasy, PAPER HEART brings a fresh perspective to the modern romance and redefines the classic love story.” (Excerpt from the Sundance Page)

***

This is no doubt the best palliative therapy for me who always yield for surprising ending in the modern day’s skeptic. Maybe at the other side of tragic and happy ending we tend to get lost in the gutter of storytelling, reality documentary and fantasy. I am super hyper veiled with the appearance of Jack Johnson and Michael Cera and it might not be easy for you to know how seriously I take Michael Cera’s film but he’s like my virtually existed best friend. And Charlyne is already semi famous for her ingenious performances and Michael Cera’s real life girlfriend!

It is definitely the pursuit of the classic modern romance. Frankly, the trailer already caused my heart to be fogged with emotions and thoughtfulness. Right now i just need to find the right pillow to match with it.
