Another Place

Renée roams the dimly lit streets of Paris, using her phone’s torch for light and Grindr to find a place to stay. As she awaits asylum in France, having been forced to flee Thailand after a Facebook post put her at risk, she searches for connection as a trans woman in a foreign city. Her thoughts begin to drift towards home – to her cats, and to the life she was compelled to leave behind – as the Parisian streets slowly transform into a landscape of longing. How does one belong in a world policed and mediated by technology?
