What if love could be insured? What if heartbreak could be prevented before it ever happened?

In a world where emotions are carefully managed and love is treated like the greatest financial risk, one unexpected encounter begins to crack a perfectly designed system. Blending sharp comedy, romance, magical realism, and quiet philosophy, Love Insurance is a 100-minute journey through rain, tea, music, memories, impossible choices, and the question we all eventually face:

Is a safe life worth living if it means never truly loving?


Running time: Love Insurance is 100 Minutes (no intermission) $20
