The Cycle of Love
This epic documentary tells an incredible true story of adventure and romance. In Delhi, 1975, young street artist PK Mahanandia meets Lotta, who is visiting from Sweden, and paints her portrait. Certain she is the true love foretold to him by an astrologer in his youth, PK embarks on the mission of his life in 1977 – cycling from India to Sweden to be with her. Award-winning director Orlando von Einsiedel (Virunga) tells this rousing story through sumptuous, vivid reenactments and wonderful interviews with PK and Lotta today, 50 years after they first met. To find out if PK makes it or if he and Lotta managed to reconnect, you'll have to see the film. Telluride Film Festival 2025.
