PLOT : Set against the landscape of Ireland, Four Letters of Love follows Nicholas and Isabel, who grew up worlds apart; his shaped by sudden upheaval, hers shaped by the beauty and stillness of an island filled with art and wonder. Though strangers, they are unknowingly bound by invisible threads, each haunted by the feeling that something - or someone - is missing. As they navigate their youth, grief, and the ache of misplaced love, their lives move in synchronicity, circling ever closer with every choice and chance encounter. Four Letters of Love is a sweeping, lyrical story about soulmates, the quiet forces that guide us, and the enduring power of true love. Based on Niall Williams' best-selling novel.

An award-winning UK filmmaker, Steele is known for sensitive, compelling stories, with credits across major UK broadcasters. Her silent video portraits captured emotional depth beyond words. Steele wrote and directed Let Me Go (2017), a family drama about a woman grieving her mother and confronting her past and, most recently, Four Letters of Love (2024), a tale of two soulmates who grew up worlds apart yet are drawn together by fate.
