What happens when someone so used to running away from deepening connections, is faced with emotional stability? Told through alternating perspectives from a hotelier who crosses paths with a fateful guest, and collages of personal conversation excerpts I’ve had, “Heartbreak Hotel” explores the peculiarity in choosing healthy attachment while unlearning the tiring cycles of familial dysfunction, chronic self-sabotage, and most of all, the fear of intimacy and loving.
