Producer Emily Goldner and Actor Chirag Benedict Lobo Attending

Pradyumna Kumar Mahanandia, or P.K., is a portraitist in Delhi. Growing up in a small town, he left for the big city to follow his dreams. Anne-Charlotte von Schedvin, Lotta, is from Borås, Sweden and has come to India on vacation. They fall in love, but she has to return home.

That’s the usual story, but PK has believed, from a young age, that he was destined to meet his life partner, and Lotta is the one–their very short time together made them fall deeply in love. Lotte promised to return soon, but as the time stretches on, PK decides to bike to Sweden, over 6,000 miles, to be with the woman he loves. Orlando von Einsiedel’s astonishing documentary seems like the stuff of frankly unbelievable fiction, but it’s all true, and it will melt your heart.
