The Truth

Dark driven moments, humour and a sense of loneliness, glimpses of a physical chemistry between two women and two men, all work together to evoke a feeling of something potent and unrevealed.

Truth is a difficult concept. What is the truth? Are you sure what you saw true? The more you see something the less it means anything
