Synopsis
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.
