Touched with Fire (2016)

Carla and Marco are two souls walking parallel paths, each tainted by the challenging reality of bipolar disorder. They both use their manic episodes as a catalyst for their artistic expression, pouring their raw emotions into beautiful poetry, with Carla's work gaining recognition. Choosing to embrace their feelings rather than suppress them with medication, they navigate the world in a uniquely heightened state of awareness. Their lives are colored by the presence of loving parents who, despite their best intentions, struggle to understand their children's perspectives. Each is captivated by celestial bodies - Carla by the sun, Marco by the moon - their obsessions extending to the light these orbs emit, illuminating their respective paths. Their journeys diverge in their perspectives on their condition. Carla seeks to uncover the hidden trigger of her illness, diagnosed in her early adulthood, while Marco embraces his disorder as an inherent part of his identity, a celestial entity misplaced on Earth. Their worlds collide when they find themselves in the same psychiatric hospital, under the attentive care of Dr. Strinsky. Their initial hostility towards each other transforms into a stimulating intellectual challenge, sparking a deep connection that blossoms into love. However, their shared manic state fuels their relationship, prompting concerns from Dr. Strinsky and their parents about its healthiness. The pair must confront the possibility of maintaining their intense relationship, especially when they must bear responsibility for each other's well-being. Will their love survive the turbulence of their manic states, or will the very fire that drew them together burn their bond to ashes?
