Paradise: Love centers on Teresa, a middle-aged Austrian woman who travels to Kenya in search of romance and sexual connection. The film follows her encounters, hopes, and disillusionments as she navigates the commodified nature of desire across cultures. Through long, observational sequences and minimal dialogue, Ulrich Seidl exposes loneliness, longing, and the moral complexities of sex tourism, offering a stark meditation on aging and authenticity.
