About

Partners is about people in unconventional relationships.

Directed by photographer Henry Horenstein, this fascinating documentary incorporates clips from 13 interviews with couples who discuss how they met and how their relationships work. Some of the relationships captured here are fairly ordinary – others are wildly unorthodox. But these couples share much in common with each other – their tastes, personal philosophies, dreams for the future, and, most importantly, their love. At its heart, Partners is about acceptance and a celebration of choice.
