The Cycle of Love (12A)

The Cycle of Love follows the extraordinary true story of PK, a 23-year-old street artist from Delhi who sets off with a handful of paint brushes and a second-hand bicycle on a 6,000-mile journey across Europe and Asia to find Lotta, the woman who captured his heart during her visit to India.

Convinced that their meeting was written in the stars, PK’s belief is reinforced by an astrologer’s prophecy that matches Lotta’s description. He takes a remarkable leap of faith, setting out on an epic journey from Delhi to Sweden in the hope of finding the woman he met only once.

Along the way, his journey becomes much more than a quest for love. It is a story of identity, transformation, self-belief and the courage to follow a feeling when everything else tells you not to.

With unprecedented access, the multiple Academy Award-winning filmmaking team behind Virunga and The White Helmets work closely with PK, Lotta and their families to bring this intimate, thrilling and life-affirming story to the big screen.

Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Orlando von Einsiedel, The Cycle of Love is a beautifully cinematic documentary about the extraordinary lengths we can go to when we believe in love, destiny and ourselves.
