Terminally in Love takes us on a first-person, stream-of-consciousness journey through a haze of heartbreak, pot smoke, heroic delusions, failed connections, wistful fantasies and cringe-worthy dreams. Our protagonist’s rambling interior monologue and her memories of a messy breakup collide in a dizzying – and frequently hilarious – kaleidoscope of sounds and images.
