Love Is the Mirage

Love Is the Mirage

21st June, summer. People go into a cinema, where is screening a black and white film. It revolves around a strange party that discusses whether love is the illusion. Real, illusion, empty, monument, mirage… They keep talking about their views on love. At the same time, people mention a recently emerged support group (some think it’s just a cult), where is full of people who are trapped by love, they will see the unshakeable truth (love is an illusion), and those who can’t accept it will suicide by hanging. The party thus becomes a unique space where the definition of love becomes the proof of existence, where some leave in the middle of the day, some come back, and those who never leave either continue the party or hang themselves, it is a trial.
