In this deeply intimate collaboration with beloved therapist Esther Perel, she dives deep in a couples therapy session with a Ukrainian couple torn apart by the war.


The wife is compelled to leave the country for the sake of her youngest son; the husband and older son are compelled to stay in the warzone for the sake of their country.


Miraculously, even amid unthinkable loss – and maybe especially amid unthinkable loss – love and connection are unrelenting.


Love does impossible things.
