En Londres, poco antes de las Navidades, se entrelazan una serie de historias divertidas y conmovedoras. 'Love Actually' es una manera abreviada de decir 'Love Actually Is All Around' y éste es precisamente el argumento de la película: mires a donde mires, encontrarás el amor en todas partes. Todos los personajes, cada uno a su manera (un primer ministro, una vieja estrella del rock, una asistenta portuguesa que sólo habla su idioma), están relacionados con los aspectos más divertidos, tristes, ingenuos y estúpidos del amor.
