After more than twenty years, Swiss musician Dino Brandão travels to Angola, his father's homeland, for a concert. Confronted with his father's past and questions about his own identity, Dino experiences a manic episode. What happens when one’s best friend suffers from mental illness? How does one cope, and how does the affected person endure this state? Moris Freiburghaus's I LOVE YOU, I LEAVE YOU is a deeply personal documentary about his long-standing friendship with Dino Brandão, as well as an essential film about mental illness in one's own close circle. «Dino shows great courage in addressing the taboo subject of mental illness. The trust and honesty between him and Moris opens up space for long-overdue social conversations.» - Valeria Wagner
