The Sexes

"After years of playing lovers on stage, Lars (Laura Louise Baker) and Jaquée's (Jaacq Hugo) off-stage marriage is tested when they find they are both vying for the same, gender-unspecified film role: that of a 'prostitute with f***ing tuberculosis.'

Jaquée suspects her husband of wanting the role not only to further inflate his ego, but also to reunite with his friend, former collaborator and possible lover, Billy Chapel. While Lars suspects his wife of wanting the role solely to boost her credibility, it becomes apparent that there may be long-buried secrets driving her need to perform...

The Sexes was written by writer and director Polis Loizou.
