Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14. This celebration has a long history that has evolved over the centuries: from pagan and Christian festivals in ancient times, to a celebration of loved ones and romance in modern times.
For Valentine's Day, MY HERO features films demonstrating different kinds of loving relationships, not just romantic ones, and diverse expressions of love.
