“Love means never having to say you’re sorry.”
Love Story, a 1970 romantic drama, charts the illicit romance between Oliver Barrett IV, a privileged Harvard Law student, and Jennifer Cavilleri, a free-spirited music student from a modest background. Despite societal pressures and familial disapproval, the couple marries, with Oliver's father threatening to cut him off. Jennifer's attempts to mend the rift prove futile, setting the stage for a heart-wrenching tale of youthful defiance and unyielding love.
