An anthology film on the theme of fairy tales - some lighthearted, some more serious in tone, but all with a sprinkle of magic - and all set in the East of England county of Suffolk!

A short film inspired by the director's personal experience with queerness. Gender and heterosexuality always felt like something he had to perform in a certain way to be accepted by those around him. Through this film, he aims to portray queerness as natural and normalised, contrasting it with the highly performative and unnatural heteronormative ideals, taking it to the extreme by adding body horror elements to the dark comedy.

When single-mum Becky, thinks she's been spiked, she turns to frenemy police office Andrea, for help.
