Little Lips
“Love can be a healer but it can also be the most powerful and destructive force on Earth.”
Drama
A writer returns home to his estate after service in World War I. He has developed a very bad case of depression due to a war wound concerning his genitalia. He contemplates suicide, but recovers after becoming interested in his caretaker's 12 year-old war orphan niece, who now lives in the manor.
VIBE
A hauntingly beautiful, yet deeply unsettling exploration of wounded masculinity and burgeoning desire. It's a quiet, contemplative film that lingers long after the credits roll, steeped in atmosphere and unspoken tension.
