After patiently searching for love, at long last Veronica finds it. But she is Ukrainian and the love of her life is American, which presents numerous problems. Love and determination combine to eventually create a happy ending but this romance is a rollercoaster ride that also celebrates the Ukrainian culture, history and architecture. From the author: I was motivated to write A Dream of Destiny by people around me who stopped believing in the miracle of finding love; lonely pessimists. My real-life story is proof that miracles exist, even when it's hard to believe. I really hope that by sharing my life experience with the world I can help others to be more determined and change something in their destiny for the better and become happier. Perhaps someone will become bolder and take a step towards their love. You must believe in miracles and they will happen in your life. After all, life is one and God gives everyone a chance to be happy. The choice is ours. Listen to your heart. DoLoraVi.

The African quote "When an old man dies a library burns down" spurred me on to write this screenplay, before it slips from living memory. Set mainly in southern England during WWII, the film includes the true story of the RAF's secret mission to Russia in 1941, where they were a part of the first Arctic convoy to leave the United Kingdom. Interspersed within those dark days is the love story between Peter Samways and Ella Harvey, who each experience life-changing events - Ella on the home front and Peter on the battle front. I wanted to turn the tables on the usual narrative about war and look at the unspeakable traumas and conflicts sometimes experienced by vulnerable women left at home. Threaded throughout the story are local characters who innocently reveal the humour, language and traditions which have spanned the generations, little realising they are standing on the cusp of a vanishing world.Devina Symes
