Having psychological disorders involved in this short film, it may not be an important issue for today but this depends on how people deals with “love” around them in the nearer future. “Love” can definitely play with people minds and sometime in can even control their life or the way they behave and act. It could turn someone behaving unexpectedly and do things that you wouldn’t expect or imagine them doing at the first place. (Refer to real life/personal case study).
