Description
Inventive and whimsical, “Adrianne & The Castle” is a true story of great love and loss. Alan St-George is a mascot-maker and artist in rural Illinois who hand-made an ornate castle with his late wife Adrianne. Since her death in 2006 he continues to put the finishing touches on Havencrest Castle, which stands as a “temple” dedicated to their transcendent love, and the creation of a truly authentic life.
