Closer to Indigo

It is simply not fair to be a late bloomer everywhere else in life and have a midlife crisis right on time. Pushing 50, Maria Ponomarenko is working as a breakfast cook, has never been married or has had any kids, and is still living with her mother. To comfort herself, she spends her time in her own imagination, the indigo spaces of the Universe. She loves reading, writing, and dabbling in the energy of crystals, and secretly ventures beyond her traditional, Ukrainian Catholic upbringing. Maria also loves walking and being out in nature, so as a birthday gift and to boost her spirits and her social life, her mother generously gives her a trip to Spain to walk a Camino, a spiritual pilgrimage. Closer to Indigo takes us through the months that lead to Maria's big adventure and as she trains, she searches for the love that has eluded her throughout her first half-century of life. Each colourful character Maria meets along the way helps light her path towards her own self-acceptance and the love she has been seeking, in the places she never thought to look before, her own heart and family.
