What is What is Love? about?

When a boy asks his grandmother what love is, she sends him out to discover the answer for himself. Along the way, he meets a fisherman, an actor, a carpenter and many others, each with a different idea. Is love a fish, applause, a house or something else entirely? As the boy listens and searches, he begins to understand that love may be found closer to home than he expected. A gentle, funny story about love, family and seeing the world through different eyes.
