Experiencing Interruptions?

The Magnificence of You

After separating from his wife, a successful businessman quickly finds himself in a fun loving relationship with the woman of his dreams. But is it just another illusion?

The Magnificence of You provides a uniquely candid insight into the relationships we have with ourselves, with others and our world. How we create a mental understanding to protect our ego’s story of why a person is good for us, when our heart is communicating a different message which we choose to silence. It is a biographical account that is immediately gripping, filled with laughter and inspiration.

Subtitles in: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Romanian and German.

Director Statement

This is a very personal project and one I am grateful to share. It was like I was being guided to deliver this story and worked endlessly to achieve the outcome. It’s entertaining whilst remaining true and respectful to those involved. From Cyprus to Bucharest we had a camera crew to capture every magical moment, finishing the filming in January 2020. With love and determination to overcome all obstacles, I'm delighted to present The Magnificence of You.
