Description


"Around Desire" is an intimate portrait of two slightly acquainted characters, dealing with their daily lives, six months into the lockdown of a global pandemic. On the surface, it's a sometimes humorous, slightly satirical romance, but it's also a poetic snapshot of our early Twentieth Century's soon-to-be-mis-remembered collective global trauma. As a heightened documentation of the day-to-day life of two individuals, it's also a gently comic, dystopian, pseudo-memoir, as well as a somewhat lyrical modern ghost tale. And at its heart, ideally, it's a respectful and sober prayer for hope.
