Movie: Beyond the Clouds

 

Dark secrets, unspoken fears, the fight against oneself - and the hope for change.

In our miniseries, we accompany people who are wrestling with their deepest truths. Ash fights his addiction, Fiona confronts her hidden desires, Joe desperately searches for his identity, and Efron dares to take the step into a life full of empathy. Between guilt and shame, between desire and responsibility, they discover that the key to inner peace lies not in hiding, but in accepting. A look into the highs and lows of the human psyche - honest, touching and full of hope.

Take part in our chat and self-help study and experience all 9 episodes of our mini-series!
