Volcano

"Volcano" is a love story.

But people express love in many ways. For Anna’s parents it means that Anna and her mother wind up in a crisis centre and have to move to a new city.

For Chili, Anna’s friend, her boyfriend Oscar means everything, but the question is whether Chili means everything to Oscar. And for Anna herself it’s meeting Idris that becomes something very special. But finding one’s own way in love is tricky when you’re entangled in everyone else’s love lives.

Anna wants a fresh start, but it’s hard to start chapter two when, in some ways, chapter one never ends.
