Adam Ramzi and Jayden Marcos re-frame Stockholm Syndrome through the lens of love.
Can love be a trap viewed in the context of Stockholm syndrome? Adam Ramzi and Jayden Marcos set out to answer that question in Stockholm by ASGmax’s Disruptive Films. Spencer Lang (Jayden Marcos) and Ray Graft (Adam Ramzi)have been at odds for the past year—a conflict that has been documented extensively in local papers. For twelve long months, Ray has stayed behind bars, paying his dues for his actions.
But now that he’s finally released from prison, Spencer can’t make sense of his feelings. It’s as if he’s got Stockholm Syndrome: the more Ray pushes him away, the harder Spencer is pulled in. He may not be able to express it openly, but all Spencer really wants is to be with Ray physically.
The tension between them is palpable—every time they interact, it feels like a ticking time bomb about to blow. One day, after a heated argument between them, Spencer finally takes his chance and reaches out to caress Rey’s cheek. Taken aback by such unexpected affection, Rey tentatively responds and locks eyes with Spencer. In that instant, they share an intense moment of passion and connection that washes away all their misunderstandings and hurts from the past.
Spencer’s body aches with anticipation when Ray softly caresses his cheek before finally giving him the passionate kiss that they both so desperately yearn for. They surrender themselves to their mutual attraction and no longer care what anyone thinks of them. For at least this one moment in time, they rejoice in their connection and find solace in each other’s embrace.
