Jack's Summary:

In this short film, Brit Fryer (a trans man) reconnects with his ex-partner (also a trans man) and creates an art project where they relive their earliest meetings and explore old conversations. It's a very unique and different approach to filmmaking, where the making of the documentary and the artistic process is part of the film itself. It's really fascinating and gorgeous to listen to these men telling stories of how their relationship ended, both having conflicting memories of certain events, hugging each other tightly in response to a rekindled emotional connection. It's so humanising and real.
