Give as a gift
A playful collection of offbeat stories and unlikely connections. Expect scheming characters, unexpected turns, committed artists, and most importantly - expect laughter and joy in this block that celebrates the beautifully weird and heartfelt ways we seek love, understanding, and maybe just a little validation.
The most uplifting thing you can do - is shoplifting.
Sammy is a queer millennial with a precarious life and all the anxieties that go with it. When they make a snap decision to shoplift a shirt, their mental health takes a spiral - until they get a lesson about late-stage capitalism from the last person they'd expect.
