When Love Stood Still

"When Love Stood Still" is a poignant exploration of love and loss, following a young couple through the highs and lows of their relationship. Their love blossoms in intimate moments, symbolized by planting a seed together. As their bond deepens, insecurities and fears emerge, mirroring the plant’s slow withering. A passionate encounter forces them to confront their emotional distance, culminating in a surreal dream where the Boy longs for the Girl, always just out of reach. In the end, a quiet moment on a park bench seals their fate, and the Boy finds closure in the remnants of their love. A tender meditation on love’s beauty, fragility, and inevitable end.
