SYNOPSIS

The Welsh term ‘hiraeth’, without an English translation, conveys a sense of spiritual homesickness for a never-visited land. Fleur, of East-Asian heritage, is trapped in a post-WWIII London that is dictated by global bans on international travels and locational technologies. She discovers a fabric-covered object; any attempts to uncover call forth visions of a surreal road trip in prewar Tibet.
