Long synopsis : 360 is a gripping, modern, stylish kaleidoscope of interconnected love and relationships linking characters from different cities and countries in a vivid, suspenseful and deeply moving tale of romantic life in the 21st century. Starting in Vienna, the film beautifully weaves through Paris, London, Bratislava, Rio, Denver and Phoenix into a single, mesmerizing narrative. From a simple decision made by one man - to remain faithful to his wife - springs a series of events which ripple round the globe with dramatic consequences, eventually returning 360 to the place of his initial decision. 360 was conceived and written against the backdrop of international banking crisis, the domino-effect of the Arab Spring, the threat of global flu pandemics and Euro-Zone instability. Put simply, it’s never been clearer how the world is interconnected. From uplifting, beautiful and romantic moments through to desperate, confused and conflicted interludes, each protagonist in 360 has their own vivid, entertaining, funny, tragic narrative as their stories weave and entwine across the globe. With a respectful tip of the hat to Viennese playwright Arthur Schnitzler and his classic Der Reigen of almost 100 years ago, 360 takes the audience on a circular journey of romantic contagion, crossing eight borders, and performed in seven languages. We are all connected.
