Must Be… Love

In the bustling heart of Toronto, where dreams collide with reality, “Must Be… Love” unfolds a heartfelt romantic drama centered around Maya, a fiercely independent artist in her late twenties struggling to find her voice both in love and her craft. After a series of uninspiring relationships, Maya believes love is a fleeting fantasy, destined to elude her.

Meanwhile, across town, Ben, a mild-mannered bookstore owner with a passion for poetry, lives a life grounded in routine and comfort, convinced that the perfect partner is just a figment of his imagination — someone he can never have. With his best friend, Leila, constantly nudging him out of his shell, he reluctantly attends a local art show that just so happens to feature Maya’s work.

When Ben stumbles upon Maya’s striking piece, inspired by the chaos of her life’s disappointments, something awakens within him. There’s an undeniable spark between them, igniting a connection that neither saw coming. As their lives intertwine, Maya’s artistic journey begins to blossom with Ben’s quiet encouragement, while Ben discovers a side of himself that emboldens him to embrace his passion for poetry.

However, the road to true love is anything but smooth. Weaving through the complexities of their aspirations, insecurities, and the fear of vulnerability, Maya and Ben both face the question: can love exist in the shadow of ambition? Just as they begin to break down their walls, a sudden career opportunity for Maya threatens to uproot their budding romance, forcing her to choose between her dream and the love that might just be her saving grace.

With rich character arcs and multi-dimensional supporting players, including Maya’s quirky art mentor who believes true creativity explores life’s messiness, and Ben’s witty yet wisecracking best friend who champions the course of true love, “Must Be… Love” delves into the nuances of modern relationships. It challenges viewers to confront their own notions of love, ambition, and self-discovery, ultimately revealing that real love often blossoms when we least expect it. Through laughter, tears, and moments of raw connection, Maya and Ben’s journey invites audiences to reflect on what it truly means to love, to create, and to allow oneself to be vulnerable in the embrace of another.
