Beloved Polish actor Jerzy Stuhr (The Decalogue) directs and stars in four engaging tales of life and love. LOVE STORIES deftly interweaves the romantic troubles of four Krakow residents into a powerful parable about the in-toxic-ating effect of relationships in our contemporary world. In an acting tour-de-force, Stuhr plays a teacher who falls in love with a student; a priest who discovers he has a daughter; an army officer tempted by an old flame; and a drug dealer forced to trust his sexy wife with the goods. The film is dedicated to the great Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski--a friend, mentor, and major influence on Stuhr.
