Synopsis
Dead. Tissue. Love is an aesthetically mesmerising experimental documentary. The film visually combines black and white imagery with infrared style frames. Complimenting the imagery, comes a softly spoken young woman’s reminiscent tale of uncertainty and trepidation around her sexual awakening, shifting through into a voice of defiant self-acceptance.
