About this Video

3am, Paris.
Young Australian, Del, is at an afterparty with a few notorious République skaters. Out of place but desperate to fit in, she tries to overcome language barriers and impress these boys. When she is rejected by her crush, the night seems over. But Del's need for acceptance leads to a more complicated situation. One in which the question is no longer whether she is desired, but for what purpose? As Del confronts unspoken expectations, and tries to negotiate dynamics that seem to undermine her, she begins to lose what small, illusory power she thought she had.
