Inspired by Roger Mais' classic novel Brotherman, One Love takes us to the heart of the Jamaican soul, as actors, dancers, singers live musicians and a DJ draw on influences such as Bob Marley and Lee 'Scratch' Perry to tell this powerful parable of desire and denial. Hot, humid downtown Kingston, Jamaica. The 1970s - streets pulse with reggae, rhythm and dub. Brotherman is a local Rastafarian guru who heals, preaches and tries hard to live a righteous life. When he gives a homeless young country girl a space in his house, the volatile neighbourhood is sparked into jealousy and violence. Meanwhile, her growing love for him tests his commitment to a pure, spiritual life.
