Short Synopsis: |
A British Asian character dealing with their internal struggles on her queer relationship and her culture's expectations. And an exploration of diverse British identities told through a queer love story in the form of a surreal dance sequence. Establishing London as the backdrop for the video, the main character is at a Chinese market buying groceries whilst listening to a voicemail from her mum. This leads to a fantasy dance sequence between her and her partner that explores the external cultural pressure she feels about their relationship. The fantasy dance scene incorporates clothing into the choreography.
