The Cycle of Love

Directed by Orlando von Einsiedel

98 mins
All Ages
The heart-warming story of a Delhi street artist's attempt to cycle from India to Sweden to reunite with the love of his life, from Oscar-winner Orlando von Einsiedel.

In Delhi, 1975, young street artist PK meets Lotta, who is visiting from Sweden, and paints her portrait. Convinced she is the love foretold to him in his youth, PK sets out on an extraordinary journey, attempting to cycle across continents to find her again. Director Orlando von Einsiedel (Virunga) brings the suspenseful story to life through carefully crafted reenactments and tender interviews with PK and Lotta today, fifty years after they first met. This documentary tells a remarkable true story of devotion and endurance.

“Delicate and heartwarming, Orlando von Einsiedel’s stirring documentary The Cycle of Love is the kind of film whose sweet subject transcends time and borders.”
Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
“The Cycle of Love employs gorgeously filmed recreations to immerse viewers in an epic love story that spans continents and decades. It is a moving and deeply romantic film about destiny, connection, and the journey that binds them.”
Daniel Howat, Next Best Picture
