Get Married at the Airport (Love and Alcohol on the run)

Synopsis: 

 

This is the real adventure of a couple (Ana and Mike) following Bill Murray’s advice:

 

"If you have someone that you think is The One, don't do… don’t just sort of think in your ordinary mind. Take that person and travel around the world. Buy a plane ticket for the two of you to travel all around the world, and go to places that are hard to go to and hard to get out of. And if when you come back to JFK, when you land in JFK, and you're still in love with that person, get married at the airport. "

 

They leave their jobs and their apartments in NYC and decide to escape the city to travel to Asia for half a year. The movie covers their travel around India, China, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand and explores the complexity of the relationship. He is an alcohol addict and she is dealing with a severe dysplasia (first stage of cancer) for the third time in her life. The friction between idealized love and harsh reality increases geometrically as they spend more and more time trapped together, navigating day by day through alien cultures and geography. During the existential journey, they face their biggest enemies: themselves and each other.
