Léa is an old punk, Rémi an old hippie, Tonton a former fairground worker, Kiki a pink-haired Ma' Daltone, and Galak, their poodle. They all live together amidst laughter, drugs and rough love, dividing their time between a cramped Parisian council flat and a chalet in the Alps that’s far too big for them. One day, Kiki has a stroke, plunging her into dependency and forcing her daughter to take charge of her, even though she struggles to look after herself. No More Heroes tells the story of a tribe trying to hold its own in the world.

The personal stories lived by the Uncle, the Father and the Son, respectively, form a tragic experience that is drawn along a line in time. This line is comparable to a crease in the pages of the family album, but also to a crack in the walls of the paternal house. It resembles the open wound created when drilling into a mountain, but also a scar in the collective imaginary of a society, where the idea of salvation finds its tragic destiny in the political struggle. What is at the end of that line? Will old war songs be enough to circumvent that destiny?

Faced with the reality that her only child will flee the nest for college, film-funder turned filmmaker Lyda Kuth gets anxious not only about how her daughter will fare in today’s world of love and romance, but also about her relationship with her husband of 20 years. What will life be like after her daughter leaves? What is the real meaning of love, marriage, long-term commitment? She queries non-experts and experts alike, such as indie filmmaker Josh Safdie, playwright and musician Kyle Jarrow, author and scholar Stephanie Coontz, about their successes and failures of the heart. "Love and Other Anxieties," a midlife story, is both personal and poetic. With the help of editor/co-writer Lucia Small (filmmaker of "My Father, the Genius" and "The Axe in the Attic"), Kuth has crafted a meditative documentary that is poignantly intimate yet surprisingly universal.
“Convalescing, when you don't have to participate in the world. Time to read, to dream, to look - the blue, the light of the television, the blue, the book, the patterns the light, the blue. Time to appreciate how much that really is.”
