Duration: 60 minutes
The itching intimacy of Lioness draws us into the inner worlds of two remarkably different women, making for a satire of wealth and privilege at once sweeping and microscopic. With dry humour and casual grace, Emily Perkins weaves a story of liberation, corruption, and the friction between personal freedom and the ubiquitous structures of the modern world.
