About the fashion movie:
A classy and stylish couple living in a London maisonette hide a secret behind closed doors. They hold a relationship with several plastic objects including hand-made acrylic playful jewellery from a brand called DISPLÈXIA which you repeatedly see throughout the film. The characters’ life moto is pleasure and therefore they are driven by desire. It is their nature. Since all pleasures are ephemeral, the director decided to give it the title of "Ephemeral Nature".

The soundtrack is a song called "Forever More" by Shaun J. Wright (more known for being the vocalist of the band ‘Hercules & Love Affair’).

Inspired by directors such as Pedro Almodóvar, Xavier Dolan, Wong Kar Wai, Giorgios Lanthimos, and Sang-soo Im among others, "Ephemeral Nature" is a short film with the big influence of Fashion, the speed of a music video and the narrative of an experimental film.

For people who think transgender is fashionable…
