Synopsis
Aeneas, struggling with a sense of worthlessness, finds comfort in dance. When he is paired with Alex, a Greek-American dancer, the two men find a connection that goes beyond their art. The intoxicating power of physical discovery and a shared love of Hellenic culture are vividly revealed in a love story partly played out through music and movement.
Aligned is about being compassionate to the part of ourselves that always feels broken, to the part of ourselves that tells us we're not good enough, not lovable enough, not worthy enough. It is this tendency toward insecurity, negativity, and fear that can sabotage our dreams. It is about getting to the point on the path where we have enough self compassion to cease perpetuating self-violence and self- hatred. When we try to change aspects of our humanity which aren't the way we wished they are. We can add self-love.
Aligned is about a character’s journey in overcoming vestiges of fear and self-judgment to embrace the self in its human imperfections—for it's in accepting the paradox of our perfect/imperfect humanity that we are ultimately connected to an experience of the divine.
