HIS AND HERS is a profound documentary about this cycle of life, love and family. Told through the collective voice of 70 women at different stages of their lives, the film combines observation and imagination to illustrate a universal love story. The movie explores woman’s relationship with man by visiting moments from the lives of 70 female characters. Shot in the hallways, living rooms and kitchens across the Irish Midlands, the story moves sequentially from young to old to deliver a uniquely charming perspective into sharing life’s journey.
HIS AND HERS is a movie of women talking about their men, candidly and humorously, via a progression from young speakers to old. Through the interviews with these women, we learn about potato peeling, naming babies and the very domestic politics of the TV remote control. But the film is also a profound rumination on infancy, adolescence, infirmity, mortality and, most emphatically, the relations between the sexes. They talk of dads, their boyfriends, their husbands, their sons; they speak in tenses future, present and, sadly, past. There are no revelations, irritations or explosions. And yet the overall effect of the collective story -- the one we all lead -- is orchestral.
