Synopsis
There is a moment – a barely perceptible yet powerful moment - when two people are about to fall into something more – or they step away from it.
What happens in that moment? Why do some run from love yet others towards it? Why does the prospect of love consume yet terrify us? Can love transform us?
In London, a young man sabotages a relationship with the girl he loves because he fears losing control…. In Paris an ageing artist, clings onto a relationship with a young lover with rather than face his own mortality… In Rome, a woman who lost her young family has shut down her heart to survive, but the pureness of a lover’s heart causes the pretence of her life to unravel…. In Berlin a successful, aggressive man who finally has everything he’s ever wanted, throws it all away after a random moment of intimacy with a stranger… and in Norway, a embittered woman involved in a car accident finds tenderness where she expected hatred – and finds her walls breaking down.
Transcending boundaries of culture, age, and distance, the human heart is an Alchemist… a magician that transforms our world…. The heart is a compass that guides us towards unknown destinations and unchartered emotional territories…. Geography is more than location; it’s the places our hearts dwell and the distances we travel to find that place.
We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives..... other souls.
