◎在我們共享的回憶中，你最喜歡哪三個，為什麼？ ◎你對我的第一印象是？之後產生什麼改變？ ◎在什麼時刻，你感覺與我最親近？ ◎在我們經歷過的所有事情中，你希望哪件事從未發生過？ ◎對於未來，有什麼是你迫不及待想與我分享的？…… 當另一半突然問：「你為什麼愛我？」 是不是突兀的讓你很難回答？ 你會想：這問題從哪冒出來的？我做了什麼？我們現在要吵架了嗎？ 但如果換成：「假設這是我們最後一次對話，你希望我永遠記得什麼？」 是不是好多畫面湧上心頭，好多回憶想跟對方說。 本書作者托帕茲．艾迪吉，為艾美獎創新拍攝手法紀錄片得獎導演， 他想知道，人跟人之間，真的可以透過問問題，而非直接給答案， 重新建立更親密、更充實和更緊密的連結？ 他在全球舉辦了名為 {THE AND} 真實伴侶坦誠對話紀錄片拍攝， 邀請來自11個國家、將近1,200對伴侶共同參與， 知名影星安海瑟薇、勞勃狄尼洛都曾共襄盛舉。 作者架設了三臺攝影機，一臺拍遠景，另外兩臺拍伴侶兩人的臉部特寫， 過程中，兩位參與者必須面對面坐著，依序問出12個左右的問題， 在作者引導下，我們可以看見人們的真情流露、不言而喻的情感， 全都發生在我與你──那個名為 {THE AND} ──「與」的空間。 很多問題一出口，兩人都沉默不語，或者痛苦得一言不發， 但更多時候是，臉上的眼淚都還沒乾，這對伴侶卻一起哈哈大笑起來。 本書完整收錄了這12個問題的對話與影片連結， 你可以一邊閱讀這些問題，一邊觀看和聆聽。 原來，關係越親密，越不知道如何對話； 以為即使不說，對方也會清楚你的情感，但事實證明，不會。 原來，向另一個人清楚表達自己的感受，是這麼困難的事， 但在成功表達情緒後，隨之而來的力量超乎想像。 這12個問題，先談感情基石，再談如何面對衝突， 還有談創傷與陪伴。最後才是談愛──你為什麼愛我？ 這些問題不是測驗，所以不會有標準答案。 重點其實不是這12個問題，而是心中浮現出的回憶與答案， 原來，愛一直都在，只是被你遺忘。 備註：作者的工作室與《魅力》雜誌（Glamour）合作， 邀請《高年級實習生》的主角安海瑟薇及勞勃狄尼洛， 參與紀錄片拍攝，深談彼此與對方共事時學習到、體會到、感受到的事。
