Synopsis - short
Is there a reason we fall in love with the people we do? "Passion Love Beauty" is a confronting exploration of all the elements which combine to shape us into the people we are and the people we are compelled to be with. As Garnet Mae explores the nature of his existence and re-examines the paths he has walked, we begin to piece together all the weird and wonderful things about life that both drive and defeat us, but ultimately make it worth living.

Synopsis - long
In 1914, a man murders his wife before taking his own life in an act of depression. Decades later, this man's great grandson, Garnet Mae is aborted. By some twist of fate, the abortion fails and Garnet is born into the world.

"Passion Love Beauty" is a portrait of human genealogy. An exploration of life and love and everything that makes us who we are. We follow Garnet on a philosophical adventure that looks at the history of his life and those of his family members, and the impact their combined stories have on him and his relationships.

At the tender age of seven, Garnet falls in love with a beautiful girl named Gabrielle. His attempts to woo her with a packet of salt and vinegar chips fall flat and he is introduced to the emotions he will later become well acquainted with; rejection, disappointment and heartache.

At 21, Garnet falls in love with a beautiful half Japanese girl named Hana. She becomes his muse and inspires him to create pop music of love with colourful music videos to accompany them. Although their relationship concludes, Hana's strong opinions and artistic styles play a pivotal role in Garnet's life, awakening his passion for film making.

After producing some of the world's worst films, Garnet travels to Spain and meets a beautiful Polish girl named Marta. The pair travel throughout Europe in a world where nothing matters but love. This irreverence continues in Garnet's creativity as he attempts to produce 60 films in a year, a plan that ends disastrously and finds Garnet's name on Interpol's most wanted list. Fortunately the authorities regard his crimes as ones of passion and his antics resolve into a sublime married life with Marta. Though their love is strong, the couple soon realise they are on different paths and their fairytale marriage dissolves.

Garnet's film making leads him to the Cannes film festival in France where he falls in love with a beautiful and intelligent Parisian named Fred. Together they explore the East coast of Australia and the richness of culture and beauty in Japan. Garnet tries to create a life with Fred in France, but things fall apart and again Garnet finds himself alone.

"Passion Love Beauty" is, at heart, a global quest for love. From the gurus and monkeys of India, to the sushi and karaoke of Japan. The tomato fights of Spain and the film festivals of France. The one constant in Garnet's life is his relentless desire to create, love and explore.
