You’re My Bruise
During a weekend bender, an unwillingly emotional drug-dealer and a playfull femme fatale try to resume their un-defined relationship, but an untold secret threatens to break their connection.
Synopsis
Zooey; A fickle femme fatale and Simon; a sensitive drug dealer struggle to resume their unidentified relationship during a weekend-long drug and sex fueled bender. When her fear of commitment clashes with his needs for security, they are faced with a field of emotional landmines. Sidestepping them entirely by doing drugs, ordering room-service and playing their newly invented game called “Tell me what you hate about me”, they find freedom of expression and a new depth to their connection. After hours of slinging insults, self-pity and innermost secrets, they finally manage to admit their love. But when the next morning brings questions of what a future together would look like, they fight desperately as all the trust they’ve built comes undone.
“Let’s pretend that, it’s you and me forever”
