A Distant Shore

In the stifling jungles of Southeast Asia, forbidden love flourishes. Two lives are forever entwined, forever destined to play out life rituals while constrained by culture and colonialism. We first see a pair in the 1920’s, a place of rubber plantations and rebel insurgencies, and another 80 years later in the same city, now independent and metropolitan. Are these lovers destined to repeat their histories or will they break the cycle this time around? Love seems to be the only constant. An erotic and poetic play about globalism, fate and passion.
