 Love Without Emergency / Tomer Rousso, 2022

A portrait of our society. Loneliness and insanity go together.

The patient is the blank canvas that changes every act.

The therapy session in the ballet company goes by various nuances of the total absolute pleasure to disgust, an outbreak within a prison called perfection.

A last kiss, a last dance, a last look into each other's eyes.

Love Without Emergency is a psychological horror film directed by Tomer Rousso and produced by Gillian Cole.
