Let Love In is the story of one couple’s emotional journey as they question everything they once took for granted when a long-kept affair is confessed. But what looks like a tale of a relationship in crisis reveals itself as a story of healing and reconnection. A quest begins for honesty, true intimacy and deep understanding, redefining what it means to be lovers.

The film stars Vandermeersch, who also co-directed The Eight Mountains, alongside Italian actor Luca Marinelli (The Eight Mountains, Mussolini: Son of the Century [+lee también:
