Ninni Korkalo's The Best Lover is a short film about loving yourself. It plays with the myths of love in pursuit of the revolutionary power of self-love. As in a love scene, the image focuses on sunsets, waterfalls and, with them, on the love of nature.
On the soundtrack, the Therapist and the Collective Mind are talking. The Therapist asks: "What is a Best Lover?" With the enthusiasm of youth, the Collective Mind mines the data and tries to find a suitable definition, until the Therapist calls Barbarella for help. The mission of this Queen of the Galaxies, inspired by Jane Fonda, in her retirement years is to guide humanity to a culture of love.
Bursting with feminist laughter and metaphorical montage, the short film looks for a sincere opportunity to save the entire living community.
The Best Lover was inspired by the reflections of professor, writer and activist bell hooks (1952–2021), who deals with the radical power of self-love.
