"Lover of Mine" is a raw, observational study of the excruciating friction between two people who have run out of things to say. Shot with a dry, satirical lens, the film documents a protagonist’s clumsy attempt to translate private yearning into public confession, only to be met by the hollow silence of a shared history. It is an intentional dive into the "cringe" of vulnerability, highlighting the childlike clumsiness of romantic desperation and the physical ache of a connection that has already expired. By leaning into the youthful awkwardness and performative uncertainty of the queer experience, the film captures the "painful to watch" reality of rejection - a slice-of-life study of the moments where we are most unsure of ourselves.
