The care of the mentally ill instead falls upon relatives, most often parents and they become the lifeline and primary carer. When a family member gets sick it affects everyone in that family and especially those who love them. LOVE BOUND unconvers the unconditional love, which governs the relationship most parents have to their children and that must somehow be altered, when a child is suffering from mental illness. There is an extreme uncertainty connected to loving and living with a person who is mentally ill - who can change rapidly within the course of their illness and perhaps become suicidal or aggressive.

Over a period of months a group of parents share their joys and sorrows and come to realise that they are all in the same boat riding the same chaotic storm. LOVE BOUND, is an intense and intimate film which emanates from a space, where parents struggle to find the balance between taking care of their children and not burning out. At the core of the film lies the dilemma of how much you must let go of yourself in order to save your kin.
