Pain Drunk

Follow Luca and Colette, bound by passion yet torn apart by differences, in a thrilling doomed love.

Luca, a free-spirited artist, and Colette, a pragmatic but restless PhD student and tutor, collide in a whirlwind romance. Their attraction is instantaneous, igniting a passionate relationship filled with creativity, laughter, and intense connection. Yet, as their lives intertwine, the very qualities that draw them together also drive them apart. Over two years, the stage shifts from euphoric first encounters to the chaos of shared living. Luca’s spontaneity and inability to communicate clash with Colette's need for stability and her closed-off nature, leading to fiery arguments and moments of vulnerability. Bound yet conflicted, they must decide whether to weather the storm or part ways.
