A couple, Summer and Ernest, and their pair of sweet cats, Edwina and Alfredo, decide to make a movie out of the joy and comfort they make together. Summer and Ernest explore what the creative process can offer them, both the good and the bad, all the while finding peace in maintaining their collective space and the anti-profit motive artistic creations they gift to each other.

In this experimental work, we're deconstructing conflict as a form of narrative, exploring Pleasure Activism, and working within a slow cinema framework to push the boundaries of narrative filmmaking beyond the traumatic and the aggressive.

Music can make us dance, poetry can make us feel sleepy, and a painting can make us fall in love. Can movies shake their need for conflict and find/create something more in this world?
