Love Is Work is a Canadian drama film, directed by John Kalangis and released in 2005.[1] The film centres on five different couples with different issues in their relationships.[2]

Victor (Fabrizio Filippo) and Celia (Shauna MacDonald) are young professionals who are still at an early stage in their relationship, but are reaching the point where it's time to decide whether they want to commit. Harley (Kyree Vibrant) and Shaun (Scott McCord) are partners in both life and music, whose relationship is tested by Harley's suspicion that Shaun is faking a neck injury to avoid an opportunity that could take their career to the next level. Terry (Kalangis) and Sarah (Joa Gamelin) are an older couple challenged by the recent death of Terry's brother, which has resulted in their nephew Josh coming to live with them. Zoe (Natalie Radford) and Kathy (Meredith Vuchnich) are friends getting together to plan Zoe's baby shower, but who have never fully processed their feelings for each other after having briefly been lovers before Zoe married a man. Charlie (Ryan McVittie) and Samantha (Kathryn Zenna) are a couple who have reached the breaking point due to Charlie's jealous belief that Samantha is having an affair.[2]
