Short Film (2023)

A random conversation between two friends about cheese takes a heated turn.

Jess, a lively black woman in her late 20s, grapples with the decision of whether to add cheese to the lasagne she's cooking for herself and her friend Luke, a witty and charming womaniser. After Jess finishes preparing an unusual lasagne for their dinner, a debate arises over whether cheese should be included, prompting a light-hearted discussion about Jess's dislike for it. However, when Jess playfully teases Luke about his varied taste in women, the conversation takes an unexpected turn. Tensions rise as they navigate the unspoken undercurrents of their friendship, through a conversation around race, identity and their differing perspectives on relationships.
