Made for Love

In the height of the 1920s Egyptomania craze, Made for Love explores the friction between academic obsession and romantic survival. Joan, a vibrant young woman, travels across the globe to reunite with her archaeologist fiancé at a dusty excavation site. Expecting a passionate reunion, she instead finds a man whose heart is buried deeper than the artifacts he unearths. He is a man consumed by the dead, leaving Joan to wither in the living heat of the desert. As her frustration boils over, the isolation of the camp becomes a pressure cooker. The social vacuum is soon filled by three other men at the site, each sensing the void left by her fiancé's neglect. What follows is a psychological tug-of-war where Joan must decide if she is willing to be a secondary relic in her own life or if she will accept the dangerous attention of those who actually see her. The film is less about a love triangle and more about the reclamation of a woman's identity from the shadows of a man's career.
