Perfect

In a near-future world where clean water is scarce, Kai (Ashley Moore, I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER) is living out of her car when she discovers Breakwater, a hidden lakeside haven where the water is pure and a community of eccentric misfits has gathered. There she meets Mallory (Julia Fox, UNCUT GEMS), an enigmatic and wealthy pregnant woman living in a secluded cabin. An intense romance quickly develops between them, but as Kai becomes increasingly drawn into Mallory’s world, she begins to uncover secrets that threaten their relationship and the fragile peace of the community.

A steamy, atmospheric lesbian romance, PERFECT is the bold feature debut of filmmaker Millicent Hailes, whose background in photography and music videos gives the film a distinctive pop sensibility. With a pulsing soundtrack featuring FKA twigs, Peaches, and Mannequin Pussy, and striking fashion drawn from contemporary designers, Hailes creates a seductive world where desire, class, ecological anxiety, and found family collide. The result is a provocative and visually audacious romance with an edge of dystopian unease.
