Back in Germany, he realizes that he can not pay for the girl because his father refuses to give him the necessary money While running from the Mafia, a close relationship develops between Chris and Jenjira. THIS IS LOVE is a complex thriller-drama that deals with the pain of love and the desire to overcome it by intricately interweaving the past and the present.
