What is the secret formula for love? Hector, our intrepid psychiatrist, sets off on a new globe-trotting mission and this time he’s looking for love. One of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies has employed him to track down their brilliant scientist, Professor Cormorant, who has disappeared abroad with the secret of a modern-day love potion. Leaving behind his troubled relationship with girlfriend Clara, Hector’s adventure takes him to the Far East and into the arms of beautiful Vayla, forcing our hero to think deeply about what love really is and what it really means.
