The Lovers is a series of couples who have shared their lives for more than fifty years, inspired by a love letter written by Lauren Fleishman's grandfather to her grandmother.
“I'm Gloria Holtzman and this is Sol Holtzman and we have been married fifty-four years.” — “An eternity!” — “An eternity!”
“We've been together fifty-six years. A couple of times I've thought, yes, I've known him longer than I knew my mother. And my mother died in the early eighties. I've known him, and he's known me, longer than anybody else on this earth. I never regretted it. I don't know just exactly what love is, but he was the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, and we have. To us, love meant that we did not want to be apart. We built our life on each other.”
“The love between us has never changed. Does love ever change?”
