PLOT

Originated from a conversation I had with my dad about irregular periods. We spoke about it once and never again, and it made me think about how comfortable he is with the redness of pomegranates but not with me, we talk about every little thing. Further inspired by how obsessed with fruit he is. The man eats a lot of fruit. It's also about the myths surrounding menstruation and the moon; as irregular as my periods are, I always find myself bleeding on or around a full moon. The 7 stages of love act as the film's different chapters. Represented through film and sculptures of the moon seen throughout, combining it with oranges and sound. A poem is spoken in Twi. The film developed from this inital conversation into an amalgamation of all the different types of love I have experienced for myself, my dad and my lover, both moon and person.
