חיי אהבה
אישה צעירה פוגשת בבית הוריה גבר מסתורי, חבר נעורים של אביה. פגישה מקרית זו מעוררת בה מיד סקרנות ומשיכה אל הגבר המפתיע שעתיד לשנות את מהלך חייה, לערער את יחסיה עם בעלה ולחשוף בפניה אמיתות מכאיבות על עצמה ועל עברם של הוריה. מכאן ואילך נפרשת והולכת פרשת אהבה מיוחדת במינה, בגלים של השפלה ושל אושר, על רקע מאבק עיקש בין הציפיות הרומנטיות לבין חוסר היכולת להגיע למגע אמיתי. "חיי אהבה" הוא דרמה מרתקת של מצבים קיצוניים, גרוטסקיים, המתוארים בהומור מר; נסיון לפרק את המושגים השגורים - אהבה, נאמנות, חופש, התמכרות, שליטה. עלילה המתארת ביד עדינה ובטוחה תהליך של התבגרות מתוך תלות ורגשי אשם - אל סוג אחר של עצמיות. " חיי אהבה" זכה בפרס "נוצת הזהב מטעם אקו"ם, 1997.
