Logline

OF KISSES AND CAPES

Isi and Finn have been in a harmonious relationship for quite some time. However, there’s one thing they’ve never had: sex. Over time, Isi’s desire for more intimacy with Finn has grown, but she’s found it hard to address, and even harder to pursue, because both Finn and Isi have physical disabilities. Sex has always been a taboo subject for them. Now Isi has had enough of that. She’s determined to have her first sexual experience with Finn, just as any other couple in their early twenties would. Finn hesitantly agrees — after all, he’s also longing for a more physical connection. Their attempt to follow through with their plan confronts both of them with their own insecurities, doubts, and external complications, jeopardizing their relationship.
