In an effort to understand the workings of romantic love, Aviya embarks upon a journey of discovery with her mother and aunts, all of whose marriages have failed.

Aviya makes no secret of the fact that she dreams of the perfect romantic relationship - but first she must come to terms with the disastrous life partnerships of her mother and numerous aunts. Using interview material and graphic art, and with a great deal of compassion and humour, Aviya delves into critical decisions these women made in their youth and asks the ultimate questions about romantic love: Is it attainable? Can it last? And what are the factors that contribute to us choosing the people least likely to bring us happiness?
