Love stories, hand-picked by our editors.
Romance might be the form the short film was made for. A whole love story in a quarter of an hour: the meeting, the confession, the morning after. We watch every romance submitted to Klipist and keep only the ones that leave a mark. These made the list.
The Night We Called It A Day puts two ex-lovers on stage for one last gig and lets the old wounds sing. In Requiem, Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us) fights for a forbidden love, while L+T hands a stranger in a bar the confession of a lifetime. One Night Stand holds a whole relationship inside its first and final night.
Some of these love stories are funny, some end in tears, and a few manage both: the divorce dinner of Requiem (With A Side of Fries), the friend-zone confessions of Things I've Made My Roommate Do, the resurfacing memories of GhostofYou. Start at the top, or pick the title that sounds like your kind of heartbreak. All of them stream free in all 193 countries, no sign-up needed.
