Love in the Time of Chlorine

Love, but make it mildly toxic.

In this perfectly unsettling Tom Toro cartoon, romance blooms in a public pool, where burning eyes and chemical fumes are no match for human connection. Love in the Time of Chlorine skewers modern intimacy with sweetness and a little bit of pain.
