"... A piece of art that probes deep into the ordinary lives of people." Thomas Moore, author of "Care of the Soul" and "The Soul's Religion" On a Day of National Tragedy Anything Is Possible... Even Love. Gabriel and five friends are stranded on his family farm on a day of national tragedy that forces them to confront their fears and ideals. Meanwhile the ghosts of Gabriel's great grandparents recollect the horrors of the 20th Century, from World War One and the Great Depression to World War Two and the deaths of their children. Throughout all of this, two supernatural beings reflect on the events of the day while reading from a sacred black book. As night falls, it becomes clear that the tragedy affecting the nation has reached the farm, leaving Gabriel's life hanging in the balance. Reminiscent of films such as Wim Wender's "Wings of Desire," Ingmar Bergman's "Persona," Alain Resnais's "Hiroshima Mon Amour," and influenced by the writings of philosopher Ken Wilber, Eastern mysticism
