But as their relationship begins to blossom in America, Kris is summoned home to marry the woman chosen by his parents. As he begins to make decisions about his future, he discovers centuries old secrets that may seal the fate of his destiny. "The film matches its narrative’s expansive ambitions with gorgeous visions that turn both Georgia and India into almost permanent states of postcard-friendly imagery. Val Lauren and Alicia Minshew...succeed in their performances, keeping a tale that can be somewhat fantastical grounded in a sense of reality. Mastery to be found throughout…it’s a strong film." - Mark Bell, Film Threat "Desires of the Heart is a beautiful and involving film featuring two fine performances by its leads who are tasked with bringing to life a film that is both intelligent and fantastic, no small task. Desires of the Heart challenges both heart and mind with a story that is culturally grounded, somewhat mystical in nature, and yet psychologically insightful." Richard Propes, The Independent Critic Directed by James Kicklighter & Rajesh K. Rathi (Co-Director: India) Producer/Executive Producer Solila Parida Written by Solila Parida and John Howbrook & Mark Ezra Stokes and James Kicklighter Based on the short story "The Woman from Georgia" by Dr. Prassana K.
