This is a film about the people living in the Alaotra region in Madagascar, and about the changes in their social and natural environments. This is also a film about the Bandro, the Alaotra gentle lemur (Hapalemur alaotrensis), that can survive only in the marshes surrounding the lake, and that is facing extinction due to these changes. This is also a film about research; on how to tackle complexity and grasp change. The AlaReLa (Alaotra Resilience Landscape) project aims to understand the various livelihood strategies of people like farmers or fishers, who use the lake, the marshes, and the land surrounding the lake to produce food and charcoal and other sources of energy. Follow us to some of Madagascar's hidden places - far away from the touristic centers - to find out what can happen when modern times seep slowly into traditional ways of living. What can be done to strike a balance between yesterday and tomorrow; between conservation and development?

当约瑟夫准备加入以色列军队服兵役时，发现自己不是父母的亲身儿子，在他出生时，他与约旦河西岸的一个巴勒斯坦家庭的小孩亚辛换错了。因这一发现，两个家庭的生活突然发生了翻天覆地的变化，这一发现迫使他们重新思考各自的身份、价值和信念。
本片围绕着巴以冲突这个历史悠久而且无法得到有效解决的问题展开，本该互相敌视的两个家庭阴差阳错的抱错了孩子并且把他们分别抚养成人——优秀的人。于是，在本片中，我们看到了民族的敌意，宗教的排斥，但是更多的是互相理解和接受的过程。“我不再是犹太人了，但是我也不是阿拉伯人。”在这样的命题下，我们发现解决这种棘手问题似乎只有一个出发点——在成为“什么人”之前首先成为一个“人”。

然而和睦相处的氛围不久就面临着巨大的挑战，导火线正是马夏斯爱上了美丽迷人的奥黛丽（维吉妮·拉朵嫣饰）。她也是生活在伦敦的法国人，一名电视新闻记者。两位父亲的关系也渐渐闹僵。他们之间共同的友情和他们生命中各自爱着的女人，对于两人来说都很重要。
一句话评论
虽然远远不及理查德·柯蒂斯的优秀作品（《真爱至上》），《我的朋友，我的爱》依旧是一部温暖人心、古怪有趣的电影。
——《帝国杂志》
罗兰娜·利维的这部电影与其说是一部爱情喜剧片，还不如说是在法国人聚居的南肯辛顿阳光灿烂的美好生活幻想。
——《完全电影》
罗兰娜·利维的电影保留了小说的特征：淡淡的忧伤，夹杂了爱情、友情和寂寞。
——《星期日报》
这部爱情喜剧片缺乏节奏和张力。我的朋友，我的爱人，还不如说是我们的忧愁。
