FROM THE DIRECTOR
“A lost man awakens to find his former muse beckoning him into the forest, where he must confront the haunting symbols of their eroding relationship.
MAL AMOR, translating to "Lovesick" in Spanish, is a creative short dedicated to a long-lost lover. The poetic narrative blends avant-garde elements to articulate the ethereal and surreal relationship between love, anxiety, and pain.”
