Film scheduled for release in 2016. When backpacker Clare meets Berlin local Andi, there is an instant attraction. Andi invites her to stay with him and Clare thinks she may finally have found somewhere to call home, until she realises that she cannot leave. A gripping thriller, revealing the power of obsession, the fluidity of truth, and the kaleidoscopic nature of human relationships.
If families are like solar systems -- bodies that orbit in time around one another, sometimes close and sometimes far away -- what is the force that moves them? And what are the consequences when one planet tugs others off course? Lotte is an astronomer who spends her nights peering into deep space rather than looking too closely at herself. Returning to her hometown after years abroad, and reeling from a devastating diagnosis, she finds that much has changed. Lotte's father has remarried, and she's estranged from her former best friend, Eve. Initially, Lotte's return causes disharmony, but then it is the catalyst for a much more devastating event -- an event that will change Lotte and Eve's lives forever. Gravity Wellis a striking and tender tale of friendship and family. Compassionate and profoundly moving, it is a heartrending portrait of how we rebuild when the worst has happened.
