12 min 1 secSingle channel / Digital Video / Colour / Sound

The Luring is a visually-driven, psychological snapshot into the lives of three different people and what they desire. Set in a seemingly familiar yet dystopian present, the film reveals how simultaneously connected and isolated they all are through the great spectacle that is modern life.
