    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

Plot: Spanning over one thousand years, and three parallel stories, The Fountain is a story of love, death, spirituality, and the fragility of our existence in this world.



Strange, sad, a little frightening perhaps, the horror of the Inquisition, but also beautiful...a story within a story about loss, and searching to find the loved one again. Where do we go? Where do we come from? It's a fable. Visually stunning, haunting soundtrack, with something of 'Excalibur' about it.
