What happens to two peoples' feelings when they are formalised in marriage? Love can be stifled under the pressure of this contract, or it can blossom into a bond of unimagined depth when faced with eternity. Why do two people choose to make a promise to each other? Driven by a very personal story, the film interweaves an ensemble of different couples and concepts of marriage. A PROMISE gently explores a web of hopes and dreams, fear and dependency, loyalty and trust.
