Their exploration takes them on a fascinating journey, from the humble homes of happily wedded couples to the hallowed halls of chemists, from the imaginative realms of romance novelists to the pragmatic offices of divorce lawyers. Even the innocent wisdom of children is sought in this exhaustive pursuit. The pair ventures as far as "The City of Love" itself, their path interlaced with a myriad of perspectives on this profound emotion.
