However, Lou’s world gets more complicated when her newest client, Olivia, turns out to be engaged to Warren, Lou’s college crush and best friend. Now, as she helps the couple prepare for their big day, Lou finds herself grappling with resurfaced feelings for Warren.
The film promises to delve into themes of unspoken love, complicated emotions, and the messy nature of relationships.
Filming entirely in Chicago, Love Language is set to take advantage of the city’s diverse locations to enhance the film’s emotional depth.
As the film progresses, audiences can expect a blend of humor, heartache, and the complexity of love triangles, all against the backdrop of Chicago’s bustling urban setting. With its unique premise and Power’s knack for character development, Love Language is expected to be a compelling and relatable exploration of modern relationships.
