The filmmaker explores the origins of this famous holiday, and how it’s been twisted as a result of consumerism and commerciality into a competition and self-esteem checklist. While disguised as a celebration of love, spanning days of gifts and adoration in some cultures, Valentines Day can actually often lead to some very dark memories, humiliation and rejection, and self-esteem crises for others. We reveal the shocking facts about the commercialisation of Valentine’s Day – the spending and traditions that have been overlooked until now; as well as bringing forth a comprehensive view of the subject through experts from various fields into this eye-opening narrative – that we all have an opinion on – no matter what!
