How to Fall Out of Love in 30 Days

If you've ever felt the pain of a broken heart or the sting of unrequited love, you've probably wished there was an instant remedy, because while they say time heals all, it still hurts like hell.

Canadian film and television producer Aida Memisevic has had just about enough unwelcome heartache that she's prepared to travel the world, with video cameras in tow, in search of a way to fall out of love -- in 30 days.

In the same vein as the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in which the main characters have their memories erased to escape their heartbreak, Memisevic's very personal point-of-view documentary will explore the possibilities of changing the way the human brain references and processes emotions associated with love.

The driving force behind her quest is a seven-month relationship that ended more than two years ago. Memisevic walked away from a man she cared very deeply for because he always seemed to have one foot out the door, she explains.

"Even though he was a great person, what I was getting from him was just not good enough. I left the relationship and I felt like it almost killed me. I barely got out of bed," she recalls. "This entire experience has thrown me for a huge loop."

Even after all this time, Memisevic continues to feel the rawness of her heartache and admits to still being in love with him. Because they are connected through a long-term investment, work in the same industry and have mutual friends, she hasn't been able to make a clean break. Even the occasional, brief encounter with him can leave her feeling vulnerable for days.

This behaviour is in stark contrast to the strong, determined woman that her friends and colleagues know so well.

"Aida is a very powerful woman," says Theresa Laurico, a fellow television producer who sees Memisevic as a mentor. "She has the conviction to go and do whatever she has dreamt of doing. She's fun, ambitious and energetic."
