Dance With a Bull
Jack and Clementine are on their honeymoon at a peaceful countryside cottage. Joined by their new friend Theo, the newlyweds find themselves entangled in a web of emotional complexities and dark humour that challenges the boundaries of their relationship. As they navigate through casual banter, playful jests, and intimate revelations, underlying tensions surface, revealing deep-seated insecurities and desires.
The trio’s attempt to escape into the simplicity of nature instead leads to a confrontation with their truths. A series of events blur the line between sincerity and performance, testing the strength of their bonds and forcing them to confront the consequences of their actions. Amidst the picturesque setting, the characters’ exploration of love, fidelity, and isolation culminates in a poignant realisation of the intricate dance between the genuine and the performative in human connections.
