Presents Narrative Short Nominee (UK): Love Is Real | Directed by Albert Bullock | United Kingdom
After a breakup, an unusual young couple try to reconnect with society, confronting the tangled nature of sex, power, and alienation.
Mark and Aoife have recently broken up and feel lost without one another in world they barely recognise, plagued with compulsions and loneliness. In an attempt to reconnect with the world around them, the couple goes their separate ways meeting strangers and familiar faces along the way - some more dangerous than others - in this disjointed odyssey of life’s shadowy, amorous undercurrents.
