The story
Three friends retreat to a resort to collaborate on a daring screenplay for a contest. Faced with the challenge of writing about passion despite their own dry spells, their journey soon blurs the line between imagination and experience.
What it’s like
Set largely at a quiet resort, this drama follows three close friends as they work together on a bold screenplay for a contest, with the romantic and erotic themes of their script pressing against their own stalled love lives. The tone is intimate and talky, with the emotional weight coming from the friends' conversations and the gradual blurring of what they invent and what they live. Expect romantic and sexual content, including sexy scenes between women, handled with a frankness that suits the lesbian romance framing; the register is more lovelorn and playful than violent or harrowing. The pacing and visual texture are not something this description can vouch for, so it is best approached as a character-driven, queer romantic drama for viewers who want close female friendship, creative tension, and a story about desire that gets personal.
