SYNOPSIS
A THOUSAND MILES OF SPACE
"I looked at him with a mix of curiosity and disdain.
His eyes would change from a beautiful gold to sudden deep dark empty pools,
devoid of emotion.
His skin was deathly pale, his body achingly thin, almost emaciated.
He must have once been attractive, before the drugs brutalised his body.
He was the dealer, the pusherman.
Both loved and loathed by all those who knew him.
I felt a moment of fear and foreboding in the pit of my belly. Did i really want to do
this?"
A journey of experimentation and sexual awakening set in Spain.
Saffron, a young twenty something, leaves behind the grey skies of the UK to
embark on a road trip. Her mission: to blot out the pain of a devastating love
affair.
She encounters a country still in the grip of those first heady years of freedom, a
fledgling democracy in place and the peseta still reigned supreme.
What ensues is a journey of hedonism and excitement as Saffron embarks on a
series of affairs and dangerous relationships.
Despite her intentions to 'Find herself' she is drawn instead to some less
salubrious characters as well as certain mind altering substances that do little to
clarify her thought patterns.
An attempt to open the doors of perception gives us a bizarre glimpse into the
world of hallucinagens in a place aptly named 'Sodom and Gomorrah.'
No matter the twists and turns the story takes: travel, adventure, drugs,sex,
passion, at its core is the absence of the one person who pushes the story to the
end.
From travelling Rock bands to polygamists and conmen on the run, nothing is
ever what it seems.
Through it all; Love, loss, friendship and tears, from moments of darkness to
laughter and comical encounters, Saffron eventually realises there is one person
you cannot escape from;
Yourself.
