Only Love Matters

Synopsis

A young woman finds romance, only for it to get interrupted by her discovery of a book on intersex that brings her face to face with her inner turmoil. The sacrifice of an intersex mother for her adopted daughter and the struggle for the rights of people like her. Her story, one of struggle, perseverance, and triumph as she rises from the impasse of poor village life and cruel tradition to the highest degree of success. Her allies in this sojourn: love, friendship, and humour. Two women, two timelines, two generations, and always the one thing that truly matters: Love.

Director: Macadie Amoroso

Fab plans a surprise for Cassie on their first anniversary, but Cassie's rough day, coupled with a party popper mishap, leads to a heated argument over dinner options. What starts as a takeaway tiff over Caribbean or pizza spirals into an identity battle, revealing deep-seated resentments about their racial and queer identities. With half of the film shot in one take, FISH & CHIPS is a tender, unflinching exploration of mixed-heritage identity, queer love, and the fine line between connection and conflict.
