Eye on Juliet

Gordon pilots drones from the U.S. that are monitoring a pipeline in North Africa. When he observes a pair of lovers near the pipeline, he can't help but assist them. The couple wants to leave the country before Juliet is married against her will to an older man. When Gordon learns of this he intervenes in the couple's destiny. At the heart of director Kim Nguyen's film is the unusual idea of using drone technology to connect two people from completely different walks of life and to ask moral questions about the value of one person's life. "You have to hand it to Montreal filmmaker Kim Nguyen. His latest film, Eye on Juliet, is dazzlingly original, an unconventional love story of sorts that never fails to surprise." (Toronto Star)
