Of Love & Law is a groundbreaking documentary-romance that intimately follows Fumi and Kazu, a real-life gay couple who co-founded Japan's first law firm operated by an openly gay pair. Juggling their roles as life partners and legal advocates, the film captures their daily lives as they take on clients from the margins of society—immigrants, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others facing discrimination.

Spoiler-free and deeply moving, it champions the idea that justice and intimacy can, and should, coexist.
