Tangles and Knots

Everything is ready for the party: The jello shots are done, the armpits waxed. The girl and her mother have made all the preparations together but now, as the party guests relax around the pool, the older of the two women doesn’t step into the background. She becomes the centre of attention among the male guests, resulting in tangled roles. The tricky balance between intimacy and distance is captured by the director in a sensual tapestry of images.
