It Hurts to Love a Woman

A tender yet tragic tale that recounts the intimate journey of two women, ROSE and MAX, whose connection cautiously dances on the fine line between friendship and romance. Told through the juxtaposing lenses of their drastically different experiences in the same space, we fall privy to their love as it unfolds, blossoms and deflates. Led by movement and sound, we teeter on the border of fantasy and nightmare as ROSE experiences the painful repercussions of falling in love with someone who doesn’t love themselves.
