LONELINESS

SYNOPSIS

Emily is at a party with her closest lover, Loneliness. Then she sees Dan. When Dan steps into her life and offers Emily the first real relationship in years, Loneliness grows jealous, and does everything it can to destroy Emily's chances at not being alone. Can Emily be "cured" of this figure that has pulled her hand since childhood? Spanning over decades, LONELINESS invites us inside Emily's life, to see how Loneliness domineers her every step, and how she might possibly overcome it.
