8mm LIEBE investigates how love can be captured on film. Twelve amateure filmmakers from Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and France open their privae archives and tell us what they wanted to archive by recording their love on celluloid. When did they start to film the love of their life, when and why did they stop? Do their films reflect their relationships or to they seem in retrospect,like a glorified distortion of reality? The students Liza and Sebastian from Stuttgart filmed each other on 8mm in order to record and analyse the development of their love, whereas Carmen and Andreas from GDR celebratedtheir love on camera, hoping to change the world by it. To Johannes from Vienna, the film camera offered a new and alluring perspective on love and the act of love. The German-Moroccan couple from Berlin, Tina and Samo, however, found a unique way of keeping communications between Germany and Morocco alive by video camera and webcam. At the end of the documentary, the question remains: can the happiest moment of one\'s love life be captured on film?
