Themes of a sexual nature
Sara is newly single and recovering from the painful end to her first queer relationship and life-changing introduction to submission and kink.
Surrounded by the predictable pressures of womanhood in your mid 30’s; motherhood, marriage and planning a move to zone 6, Sara is certain none of those life goals are for her – in fact they make her itch.
A lecherous boss, an uptight mother with questionable opinions who certainly wasn’t prepared for Sara’s life choices and composed best-friend-from-school-mother-of-two Jen is VERY worried about Sara’s lack of direction. Her heart has been broken and stamped to pieces, but the awakening of this relationship has changed her forever. Sara is coming to realise that she’s barely thought about who she really is and what she really wants.
“Thirsty” explores contemporary womanhood, sexuality, motherhood, queerness and the many divergent paths moving through our 30’s.
