FILM SYNOPSIS:
London designer Saloni presents her A/W2013 collection with a fashion film, casting a surreal look at a nightclub. Two women are performing for a group of men, but rather then being objectified by the male gaze, these women are the players in charge, creating an absurd dance for their passive and indifferent audience. The relationship between the two women becomes therefore more important then the relationship between the performers and their audience, changing the dynamics and twisting the plot.
