The(ir) Blurb...

New York 1996, Luna and Blaze, two ambitious queer best friends, have a terrible falling out and take 25 years to reunite, in this upbeat, narratively propelled music video, featuring Mx Justin Vivian Bond. The two characters' big mistake is not talking to each other openly and honestly about what they were feeling when they were feeling it. That left room for negative fantasies about the other to fill their minds. Then a minor conflict escalates into a huge crisis with tragic results.
