In 1977, a young street artist from Delhi picked up a second-hand bicycle and set off on a 6,000-mile journey to find the woman who captured his heart.
Growing up poor and 'untouchable' in Delhi, PK's odds of making it across a continent on a second-hand bicycle were slim. He pedalled anyway, all the way to Sweden to reach Lotta. From Academy Award-nominated director Orlando von Einsiedel, The Cycle of Love pieces together their extraordinary story through intimate interviews with PK and Lotta alongside vivid recreations that place an actor in conversation with real people along the route. What unfolds is more than a love story. PK's journey forced him to reckon with the caste system, the weight of family expectation and the sheer improbability of cycling 6,000 miles with little more than a handful of paintbrushes and a stubborn heart.
