Leap of Love



The date got my attention - Feb 29. Happens only on the leap year. That's once every 4 years.

The story is about a girl, a boy and a promise to meet at the same place every 4 years, on Feb 29. The plot is simple but the concept, spellbinding. As Dr. Catherine Lim, author of the novella "Leap of Love" which the movie is based upon concluded, "romance is alive and well in everyone, regardless of age and background."

"You will come together at last. But not yet, not yet." says Fate mischievously.

Some of us spent a lifetime searching for that special someone. Some found. Some lost. Some didn't. Others spent a lifetime waiting for that someone to appear. While some did succeed, the rest waited in vain.

It's funny how sometimes, two connected persons, for some reasons, do not end up together. I think this is the saddest. They could have been, but, they didn't. Then inevitably at times of nostalgia, they wonder, "What if...?"
