Tagline
It’s said Grief is a thing with feathers, but so also is Hope. Can Ella help Mark find a way forward from the former to the latter?
Overview
When Ella makes a strange discovery about the lifestyle choices of her internet date, the recently bereaved Mark, she must choose whether to stay in her own comfort zone or take part in his unconventional grieving process. Twitching is irreverent, playful and subversive in its exploration of gendered narratives, relationship boundaries and grief.
