Relationships are a balancing act, a negotiation of possibilities and boundaries, movements toward and away from each other. In this program, the involved parties oscillate between attraction and repulsion. Time and again a symbiotic relationship is disrupted from outside. Auspicious transcendence meets tangible experience in memories of adolescent LSD-consumption. In a first encounter after many years, timid advances end in tender violence. A queer family confronts their traumatic experiences: Where do those bodies external to us live? A filmic expedition into the infinite universe of emotions. (Jessica Manstetten)

Together they enact a public sex ritual to symbolize their hopefulness for multiplicity, acknowledging their cyborg bodies as technological interventions. When the queer woman miscarries her child, the three begin to build their own mythic understanding of where bodies live when they are not inside us.… >>>
