Love Actually

A comedy/love story is interesting in a movie, but what if, instead of just one, there are several that turn out to be linked to each other? Don't you think it's possible? Actually, it is, and it happens.
My menu for this weekend, it turns out to be varied with respect to stories and characters, because let's be honest, only one is not enough. Today I presnet to you, Love Actually.

The movie revolves around the personal relationships between different protagonists, and how they manage to overcome their difficulties in time for Christmas.

Billy Mack is a rock and roll singer who is releasing his Christmas single in the hopes that it will become the no.1 single. However, he begins to despair and takes out his problems by partying.

Juliet and Peter are a recently married couple. Peter’s best friend is Mark, who does not appear to get along with Juliet. Peter is also the camera man for their wedding so when Juliet stops by at his house one day to see the recording, she realizes that he only filmed her throughout, indicating that he harbors feelings for her, hence he always tries to avoid her.

Jamie has recently been cheated on by his girlfriend with his brother. He withdraws himself to France, where he meets Aurélia, a Portugese housekeeper. They develop feelings for each other despite not being able to communicate.

Harry and Karen are a highly successful, happily married couple with children. Harry employs a new secretary, Mia, who is much younger and begins to flirt with him. He likes the attention so much that he buys her a Christmas gift that she asks for, an expensive jewelry, which Karen discovers and assumes, is her present for Christmas. 

David is the new Prime Minister of the UK and Natalie is a member of his staff. He feels attracted to her and her to him. However, the President of the US comes on a visit and makes sexual advances towards Natalie. David then begins to think it is best if Natalie were removes from her position as she is a distraction to him.

Daniel's wife has recently died and he is attempting to raise his stepson Sam. Sam is in love with a classmate, Joanna, and Daniel urges him to tell her how he feels.

John and Judy are body doubles taking part in a sex scene for a film. However, they have a connection and end up pursuing a relationship off screen.

All these stories and others have a very fun and interesting development, and as I said before, yes, they intertwine with each other, but to find out how this is possible, I invite you to see it, if you have not done it yet, enjoy it and recommend it, I really liked this movie in particular, it's out of the ordinary.
