Head in the Clouds

“Three lives. One destiny.”

In Paris, as the world drifts toward war, Gilda Bessé (Charlize Theron) keeps up her late nights and her work as a photographer, and shares her apartment with an Irish schoolteacher, Guy Malyon (Stuart Townsend), and Mia (Penélope Cruz), a refugee from Spain. Guy and Mia feel pulled toward the fight against fascism, while Gilda would rather not look at it. John Duigan stays close to the three of them as the late 1930s close in on their household.
