LA ESTAFA DEL AMOR

Romance Scam

/ La estafa del amor

Virginia García del Pino
Spain
 - 2023

A group of people were invited to read the script of a movie about a romance scammer. As the reading of the script went on, people began to dig into their own stories. Everything was recorded strictly live. The result is a shared reflection on the ideal of romantic love and the extraordinary (and not necessarily positive) influence it exerts on men and women.
