Loving Ibiza

Verliefd op IBIZA! (original title)

A cross between ‘Alles is Liefde’ and ‘Gooische Vrouwen’: that is the best way to describe ‘Verliefd op IBIZA!’.

On the island where people in their forties want to be thirty, people in their thirties want to be twenty and people in their twenties have lost their way, an ensemble of characters falls in love – with the wrong men, with the right people, and with Ibiza.

Eleven people, four stories and one island. Everyone comes to Ibiza with a plan of their own. But as it turns out, at heart they all face the same challenge. With a light and comic touch, four couples experience the universal longing to be something that is not – or no longer – within reach, and they will have to work out what takes its place.

A feel-good film for all ages. A film full of humour, adventure and human insight, set to the music of Armin van Buuren.
