going by the description and the short films plot it seems the Main character wants to experience being someone other than herself, her mother seems to have a sort of tic where she is stressed and this is probably because of how conservative their community is, when she is told by her mother to get her body back or don't come back at all, we can see her trying to find her old body, watching them go off with someone else. my guess from the ending is that she is choosing to stay in the body she is in. I'd be interested in seeing more of this, perhaps as a mini-series on YT learning more about the character and her swap partner and learn more about how this world is with people swapping like this and where the main characters journey goes

My guess would be that the protagonist is part of a religious group, as can be seen by the symbol, the gatherings, the clothing, the calling of the older woman "sister". Also her partner asking if she's sure when seeing the symbol, so I'd guess its a restrictive religion. Or something like that. The "sister" took her off and prepared the experience (either just clubbing or clubbing and possibly sex) for her, probably against the rules (she states she is confused, but wants to go.) When she gets back in the wrong body, she can't come back into the society. She then waits outside another sisters house, but isnt recognized. So she is free following her own path. Leaving her old body - leaving her old her - back and starting a new life.

this one was a lot better than some people in the comments are giving it credit for lol. It only takes a very small bit of thought to understand the premise.

[@AndreAdvocate]

So I have to guess and fill all the gaps in the story?

[@Shafiksz]

Basically they live in a world where everyone have the ability to swap bodies whenever they have sex like its a natural thing. So the protagonist is in a sort of cult where they reject the status quo and choose to not swap bodies with anyone else.

[@Iseejigs]

it's sooo poorly done

[@Blythe_Anderson]

I'm so confused

[@Gallicus6669]

My interpretation is " a first bodyswap off screen between older woman in car and the protagonist and then the second swap. Then in the final I think all people in disco swap... But I am confused too. This is a my personal interpretation not so clear

[@hi_lol1912]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@Iseejigs]

really horrible storytelling.. too bad, because it's a fun concept

[@lonelyboy593]

Me gustó mucho❤

[@Jesterdoggie]

Film makers and crew/cast seem talented. But the story wasn't for me.

[@AndreAdvocate]

So do they have to scissor? This would have made more sense if it was male and female 😂😂😂. Bodily fluid transfer is easier to explain

[@virg0_lem0nade]

just because Andre doesn't understand lesbians doesn't mean that they "don't make sense" LMFAO 😂

[@AndreAdvocate]

@@virg0_lem0nade lesbians are not that complicated. Like the difference between “more sense” and “don’t make sense”

[@ahzar4384]

Or Male to Male would make sense too IFYKYK 💯 😂

[@Cranky301]

Rubbish.

[@roninzero12]
