Heart of Light: Eleven Songs for Fiji (2026)

After decades living abroad, Iona (Tilda Swinton) returns to her childhood home in Fiji, drawn by a need to confront unresolved questions about civilisation, belonging, and the costs of progress. Her journey weaves through landscapes both physical and emotional, encountering local voices, ancestral rituals, and the quiet erosion of tradition.

Blending documentary observation with scripted drama, the film follows Iona’s meandering path across the islands, structured around eleven thematic “songs” that explore memory, ecology, and cultural survival without offering easy conclusions.
