THE MESSY MUSINGS OF A QUEER VEGAN

 

One hour of non-stop chaos in the life of a messy millennial searching for love and morality in modern adulthood. In the midst of an identity crisis, queer vegan Charlie decides to give up pornography and hit the gay dating scene. Sex proves to be a disastrous distraction from self-loathing, and they soon realise that being emotionally unhinged and cynical makes them a difficult romantic candidate. Also, their pet goldfish Bob is horribly depressed.
