“MAL-AMOR” by Joshua Stoker

MAL-AMOR, translating to "heartache" in Spanish, is an evocative short film that delves into the emotional landscape of yearning for a former lover. This poetic narrative blends avant-garde elements to articulate the ethereal and surreal relationship between love, anxiety, and pain.

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.”
