In this “Behind the screenplay” post we’re letting you know a little more about the “Love For Sale” screenplay.
“Love For Sale” depicts a world where a unique service has emerged allowing people to experience love without the hassles of traditional dating. Clients pay a fee to hire actors who will portray their partners, fulfilling their specific preferences and desires.
As the clients become increasingly invested in the service they begin to develop genuine feelings for the actors. Complications arise as the actors are merely doing their job, and the clients must grapple with their emotions.
Moreover, the actors themselves have their own personal struggles and motives for joining the service. Thus, the boundary between reality and acting becomes increasingly hazy, leading to a complex and intriguing romantic drama.
