Brief Explanation

'Does Love Last Forever?' follows Jake and Xanthe over four decades from when they first fall in love, develop a shared love for music, mature and have kids, all the way to the present day where the film resolves by posing the question: 'Did love last?' Depending on the viewers hearing ability, the film has two endings. For those who can hear well, their relationship remains loving. But for those hard of hearing, the couple's relationship appears to deteriorate. Extensive patient data from audiograms informed the script that used certain words with consonants such as T, S and F which are harder to hear due to their higher frequency. The ability to lip read was gradually taken away, body language was choreographed to be interpreted negatively, and ambient background noises were introduced to create confusion for those with hearing loss. 'Does Love Last Forever?' is a hearing test in disguise.
