Call it Love
Olivia finds herself in the hospital suffering from memory loss. As she goes through a series of tests she must confront every bad decision she made in life. Her digging reveals a complex tapestry of modern love where the more people you love, the more people you hurt. As Olivia dissects past relationships, she searches for the loss that caused her to wipe the slate clean. Her journey to self-love and forgiveness is shrouded in pain, but ultimately illuminates the joy and love that were never lost.

That arrangement granted Chilina the permission to rework the original 'Evangeline' that had opened in its very successful global debut in 2013 in Charlottetown PEI.
