Around the Sun is a romantic drama film directed by Oliver Krimpas. The film focuses on the story of a location scout named Bernard (Gethin Anthony) who is sent to find the perfect filming location for a movie, and his encounter with a representative of the château named Maggie (Cara Theobold).
As Bernard begins his search, he meets Maggie, who is tasked with showing him around the château. Their initial meeting is marked by an instant chemistry that only intensifies as the day goes on. As they tour the dilapidated estate, Maggie weaves a tale of past love and desire that featured in a famous book set in the château.
As the day wears on, Bernard and Maggie find it increasingly difficult to separate the stories they're telling each other from the reality of their present-day lives. What starts as a simple tour of the chateau turns into a journey of self-discovery for both of them.
Over the course of the film, the two lead characters find themselves grappling with questions of love, destiny, and the intersection of the past and present. They begin to question whether their powerful connection is a result of their own desires, or simply the echoes of the long-dead lovers who haunt the château.
The film is shot in the style of a slow-burning romantic drama with the secluded château serving as the perfect backdrop for the unfolding drama. Krimpas's direction is marked by a careful attention to detail, and the film's cinematography captures both the beauty and the decay of the château with equal grace.
In summary, Around the Sun is a beautifully crafted romantic drama that explores themes of love, destiny and the power of storytelling. The film is anchored by strong performances from leads Gethin Anthony and Cara Theobold, who bring a sense of genuine connection to their on-screen relationship.
