a choice

A parable. Having love represents to switch the body with the other person. On social site, you choose the partner , you are prepaired for the special night. But after sex, what can be ?

The answer to this question of a young woman is the heart of short film. A provocative one not only for idea but for use of it in lesbian context. Seductive for images and for fair crafted suggestions. Interesting because it works as a kind of interogation send to viewer about the option . To keep the new body , in essence , starting new life or to do what seems right. In same measure, interesting portrait of youth and the decisions defining it, suggestion of premeditated gesture, the sex being only a tool.

In short, for just many reasons, beautiful.
