Slugs
Slime. Ooze. Mucus. Tobi feels like he is covered, head-to-toe, in slugs. Every unwanted kiss, lover and confused indignity over the years has left its oozy mark. They've always been there, but one recent romantic encounter and suddenly these slimy gastropods are taking over in a big way. From his childhood bedroom, Tobi explores fractured memories of his queer, adolescent sexual awakening (replete with a Hollyoaks Hunks calendar circa 2008) in an attempt to make peace with the slugs, in this knotty, darkly funny meditation on sex, shame and desire written by Tobias Graham and directed by George Jibson.
