A poetic journey through love, utopia and the vision of a new world.

Future My Love follows filmmaker Maja Borg as she faces the possible end of an idealistic relationship while confronting a world in financial disarray. In search of meaning, she travels to Miami to meet Jacque Fresco, a 95-year-old futurist whose life’s work, The Venus Project, proposes an entirely new model for civilization. Fresco imagines a “Second Eden,” a harmonious world where technology liberates humankind from labour and social inequality.

Set within the luminous white curves of Fresco’s futuristic home and laboratory, Borg’s film becomes both an intimate portrait and a philosophical dialogue. Through thoughtful interviews and poetic imagery, Fresco shares his theories of socio-cyber-engineering and his dream of a society where machines regulate social systems, allowing people to live free from economic oppression.

As Borg listens and observes, she becomes a participant in this vision, oscillating between fascination and doubt. Her search for emotional truth intertwines with Fresco’s rational utopia, creating a meditation on the limits of progress, love, and human connection. Fresco’s reflections reveal a profound idealism: “In the future, love will be universal.” With this statement, Future My Love invites viewers to imagine not only new ways of living, but new ways of loving.
