"The memory of a kiss is so wonderfully unstable..."
In conversation with Caroline Bird, Richard Scott and Fleur Adcock, the poet Rachel Long explores the craft of writing a kiss.
How might we hold the wordless intimacy of the act - its blurring of selves and disrupted time?
In this documentary we weave between fragmentary memories - sensual, funny, erotic... the kisses we describe over and over, the kisses we keep a secret.
Also featuring glimpses of kisses from Nadia Molinari, Ian Rawlinson, Sayre Quevedo and Laura Barton amongst others.
