In 1975, 23-year-old PK Mahanandia makes a living drawing portraits for tourists in Delhi when he meets Lotta (Anne-Charlotte von Schedvin), a Swedish student visiting India. Convinced their meeting is destiny, PK recalls a childhood prophecy that he would marry a musical woman from a far-off country, born under the sign of the ox. After spending time together, Lotta returns to Sweden, promising to come back once her studies are complete. But when she doesn’t return as planned and PK cannot afford a plane ticket, he sells everything he owns, buys a second-hand bicycle and sets off on a 6,000-mile journey across continents to find her.

Based on an extraordinary true story, The Cycle of Love is a heart-warming tale of love, destiny and the courage to risk everything for the person you love. Blending documentary interviews with dramatised scenes, it’s an epic journey that we challenge you not to shed a tear for!
