Synopsis
In this 70-minute comedy, Venus develops a black hole in her 2-dimensional world after losing her Nan. Unable to rid herself of the hole, it continues to grow throughout her interactions with others until one day she wakes up inside the hole and is confronted by her colourful, raging heart.
Dying to live, Venus’s heart revolts against her templated world, forcing her to unpack all of her relationships, including the most important one of all: the relationship she has with her heart. Desperate to hide her heart from others, Venus struggles to accept the parts of herself that make her magically whole.
