Set in Vietnam and Germany, This Is Love centers on Chris and the nine-year-old Jenjira on the run from the mafia. Together with his friend Holger, Chris bought the young Vietnamese girl's freedom from human traffickers – without actually being able to pay. Meanwhile, the female detective Maggie learns after 16 years why her husband up and left her without a word. These two worlds come together when Chris is accused of murder and Maggie is charged with interrogating him…
… Overall, this is a very good movie, with heartfelt performances by the actors involved in the project, that brings up many issues, ranging from child-prostitution over father/son-problems (including a great cameo by Danish star Jesper Christensen as Chris' father), to alcohol-abuse, child neglect, general recklessness, having a lack of conscience, impossible love, and many other relevant issues in our society today. I think this is an excellent film, that seamlessly ties all these loose ends together, and creates a great viewing experience.
