Abstract
DERZI, Carla de Abreu Machado and MARCOS, Cristina Moreira. The impossibility of love in the film "An affair of love". Tempo psicanal. [online]. 2018, vol.50, n.1, pp. 258-276. ISSN 0101-4838.

The film's plot shows that the partnership of the couple is grounded in the realization of a fantasy, that is, in the impossibility of building a love relation. The film demonstrates Lacan's thesis that "Only love alows jouissance to condescend to desire" (Lacan,1962-1963/2005, p. 209). It also brings to light that the subject has, in the Other, essentially the objet a.
