Map of the Human Heart (1993)
Fantastic improbabilities, happenstance and the undying bridge of love are part of this romantic fantasy about an Inuit who crosses years, oceans and the ravages of WWII to find his childhood love, a Metis girl, but finds that their cultures are the most difficult spaces to gap.
This is likely one of the best films you've never seen. It's one of those "one of a kind" experiences, like "A Man and a Woman." The story is a riveting exploration of many types of love and how deeply this creates the fissures and pathways of our lives. To tell you more would be to deprive you of the experience of viewing the unfolding and unanticipated directions the journey takes you. Superb cinematography and inspired performance by the three major characters makes this one not to miss.
