Sick

While living under safety measures for social distancing orders, Mia craves a romantic connection now more than ever before. In the safety of her home, all she can do is make-believe to feel something close to what she craves. Driven by self-inflicted illusions, she daydreams as a form of escapism while fearing becoming crazy. Once she is cleansed of her mind's constructs, the death of her past self enables her to move on. The pomegranate symbolizes fertility, beauty, power, blood, and death; it also looks like a broken heart when cut apart. The film explores the inner conflicts one might experience during a time of isolation and the discomfort in familiarity.
