Tencent has acquired the online video streaming rights and Phoenix Hong Kong the TV rights to Taiwanese documentary “Love Talk,” which takes a deep dive into the topic of marriage. The film is currently working towards a mainland theatrical release.

Directed by Shen Ko-Shang (“A Rolling Stone”), it is produced by CNEX Studio and 7th Day Film. Following eight couples over the course of seven years and investigating the wedding photo industry, it attempts to answer the question of what makes a long-lasting marriage — and that of whether the institution is really necessary.

It is one of three films in the Taiwan Cinema Showcase, which kicked off Monday at the Shanghai International Film Festival. The other two are “A Decision” and “Stand By Me.”
