Description

Michael was always taken by the idea of love, a deep longing for what he believed to be the purpose of life. His desire manifested itself in various ways: for his family, for his friends, and for Anjali, the girl he meets at college.

But as his love blossoms for her, it reveals something inside him. Vivid hallucinations take hold of him, the world shifting and blurring, and Michael no longer knows what is real and what is not.

A journey through the spiritual lands of his people, a brief moment of hospitalisation, and a diagnosis of bipolar all lead Michael to where he is now.
