Tender Buttons

Three naked bodies stalk, crawl, and creep through grass and mud, then glide into a body of water. They smoke, eat and film by the water. Then, in an apartment, they play with the everyday in a way reminiscent of Gertrude Stein’s Tender Buttons, with light, shadows, and potted plants that are good for hiding behind. (Magdalena Steffan)
