What Is Love is a romantic drama inspired by classic 90s cinema, focused on emotion, connection, and real-life relationships. The story follows Jasmine, a young woman who unexpectedly reconnects with Darrell, someone from her past who once meant everything to her. What begins as a casual encounter turns into a meaningful conversation as they walk and realize their connection never truly faded. Darrell explains why he left years ago, and Jasmine is forced to reflect on her current relationship, which feels stable but emotionally unfulfilling. As they arrive at her home, their conversation deepens, exploring love, romance, and emotional truth. Although their chemistry remains strong, Jasmine is already involved with someone else. The moment shifts when the sound of someone arriving interrupts them, leaving their story unresolved. What Is Love explores unfinished love, timing, emotional honesty, and the tension between comfort and true connection.
