“Head in the Clouds” is set in the backdrop of 1930’s Europe, which makes the romantic drama flourish. Three iconic different people share one small apartment, Gilda Bessé (Charlize Theron), Guy Malyon (Stuart Townsend) and Irish schoolteacher and Mia (Penélope Cruz) a refugee from Spain. War draws inevitably close as Gilda continues along with her hedonistic lifestyle and snapping pictures trying to flourish her own photography career. However both Mia and guy feel fascism is wrong and want to step up to do something about it. Now the three friends are separated I more ways than one and more likely forever after the ashes of war settle.
