How far would you travel for love?

In 1977, PK, a 23-year-old Delhi street artist from a poor, โ€˜untouchableโ€™ family, picked up a handful of paintbrushes and a second-hand bicycle and set off on a 6,000-mile cross-continent mission to find Lotta, the Swedish woman who had captured his heart.

Oscar-winning director Orlando von Einsiedel's true-life romance blends drama and documentary to tell a story of hope, self-belief and a love that transcends.
