“Love is inescapable”

DramaRomance

On a tour of Britain in 1926, Harry Houdini enters into a passionate affair with a psychic out to con the famous magician.

VIBE

A tender, wistful romance set against the backdrop of 1920s Scotland. It's a charming, if slightly melancholic, exploration of love, illusion, and the blurred lines between performance and reality.
