The Traveller

A computer scientist scans dreams with a computer.

Eryka is a documentary filmmaker who has just returned from filming at the Saharawi refugee camps in Africa. Arriving on the coast in southern Spain to meet her boyfriend, Marc, she discovers he has vanished when he was hang-gliding over the ocean. Thinking the Coast Guard search is ineffective, she begins her own search with the help of Marc’s best friend, David.

Paul, a bored teenager adrift amidst the pressures and contradictions of modern life, finds himself torn between love, frustration, and money. His turbulent relationship with Natalie—a young woman with firm convictions against sexism and other social injustices—forces him to question the attitudes and prejudices that shape his worldview. Conceived as a fairy tale about consumer society, "Hate to Love" blends youthful disillusionment, romantic conflict, and social commentary into an experimental portrait of urban life in the early 1980s.
