Falling in love is easy. It's staying in love that can be complicated. As we crash our lives into another's we take on their successes and their challenges. Some challenges might prove tougher than others, but it takes true courage to stand by your partner in the face of real darkness. We face an ever-growing opioid crisis in the United States, as well as an abysmal approach to mental health. So many are left to slip through the system and take matters into their own hands. But what about the loved ones of those people? The ones who choose to stay and fight for them, each day, as they try to fight through their demons. There is a common trope in storytelling, the zoom in on the darkness and hopelessness of these stories. "Addiction is deadly, Addiction destroys all it touches." But, there is another side to addiction that most people don't see. Hope. The hope to overcome, the hope to find your way back. Heroin(e) in Love is an honest love story at its core. A relationship that has hit a wall, but not one it hasn't hit before and most likely, will be one they face again. This is a story about a relationship that wants to survive, despite its challenges. Call me an optimist or even an idealist, but I really believe that in the darkest parts of ourselves, what makes us human, is our ability to find hope, as difficult as it may be, we are drawn to the light. And it's that journey to the light that I am the most interested to explore in this film.
