Love Should is about loss and heartbreak. Lucas deals with the immediate aftermath of a break-up. Plagued by a secret and by memories of better days, he can’t let go of the past. His friends and family all weigh in on Lucas’ current state, but no one seems to understand just why Lucas is so torn up. The film speaks of the universality of break-ups. We’ve all been there
in one-way or another.
