Alan and Adrianne’s love is immeasurable, passionate and all-consuming enough that they have accepted complete estrangement from their families and remained inseparable for 30 years. They build a castle together—their temple of love and art—with an ornate interior and several lavishly designed rooms containing their astonishing accumulation of collectibles, and with some reflection of their mutual adoration in every corner of their home. When this fairy-tale romance comes to a tragic end upon Adrianne’s sudden passing, Alan is left to face the colossal grief of losing the one person who not only loved him completely but also taught him how to be loved.
Through re-enactments, musical performances, archival footage and behind-the-scenes conversations, director Shannon Walsh and Alan St. George collaborate on a creative re-telling of this otherworldly love story. What emerges is a profound conversation about grief and the recognition of the cathartic process of remembering and sharing as crucial to coping with loss.
