A love story like no other, The Cycle of Love is an inspiring, heart-warming, epic true-life adventure about the search for self-belief and risking everything for what your heart tells you. In 1977, PK, a 23-year-old Delhi street artist from a poor, ‘untouchable’ family, picked up a handful of paintbrushes and a second-hand bicycle and set off on a 6000-mile cross-continent mission—to find Lotta, the woman who had captured his heart.
