The Talk

A young woman (Charlie) struggles to open up to her partner (Jonah) about her asexuality. Once the protagonist, Charlie's sexuality comes to light, as expected, it impacts her relationship.   ‘The Talk’ questions the very notion of sensuality and intimacy and brings to light the complexity of human experience. 

Made by the Ace and queer community, for the Ace and queer community, The Talk aims to depict a confronting and honest experience that many can relate to, yet scarcely depicted in our media especially within Aotearoa. This story comes from a place of honesty and personal experience. It's confronting, with it arising uncomfortable questions but at the same time, truthful; showcasing the complexity of relationships and human emotion.  

Visually and tonally, the film is inspired by the likes of films such as In the Mood for Love (2000), All of Us Strangers (2023) and Challengers (2024).
