01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Intrepid French scientists Katia and Maurice Krafft loved each other as much as they loved volcanoes. Composed of spectacular images captured by the couple as they endeavour to comprehend the mystery of volcanoes and narrated by the American filmmaker and artist Miranda July, Fire of Love is an adventure film about time, the unknown, and the meaning of human existence.
