"The Bliss" is a short film about the effects of Complex PTSD on romantic relationships. About the deep entanglement of a long love and understanding getting caught in the whirlwind of toxic moments, motivated not by an intent to harm or control, but by a deep fear rooted in immense childhood wounds.

Logline: "During an intense flashback, Ellis tries to convince Serena to let him kill himself."

The film will be characterised by despair, longing, and disconnection. Think of the feeling you get when listening to Radiohead.
