Let's Talk About Relationships-Full Documentary
Beginning with a gay marriage between a 75 and a 23-year-old groom that defies both cultural and age expectations, "Relationships" starts out with sociologist Julia Carter’s viewpoints on modern marriage being the result of rules, regulations, and consumerism. Alternative relationships, such as LATs (Living apart relationships), open relationships, and Swedish concepts of Särbo and Sambo, have also come to challenge traditional ideas of fidelity and marital structures. Meanwhile, in Taiwan, the transition from an authoritative to a democratic style education system prompts a re-thinking of modern families and parenting. A notable lack of emotional education is believed to contribute to issues like toxic masculinity, stigmas toward seeking therapy, and the lifestyles of family, friends, and individuals living outside traditional marital structures. Finally, co-living options are booming in Asia and further re-defining the meaning of home and community.
