'Normal behaviour will be resumed after the break...'
But what is normal when you split up with someone? This short poetic film looks at the gap between being in a relationship and being single again – how we sometimes cling on to feelings of pain rather than feeling nothing at all. When everyday life seems far from normal, we hold long conversations with ourselves. Anyone who has ever split up with someone will no doubt cringe or laugh at their own behaviour as the film touches on some experience or sentiment we have all shared at some time or another. The film features lesbian performance artist Helen Paris, Lucky the Cat and several everyday household items.
