Synopsis
ANNABELLE is working at a small cafe where she meets LINCOLN, a tradie who has been working onsite close by and is now a regular customer. Lincoln overhears Annabelle and her best friend, APRIL, having a conversation about April’s impending overseas holiday to celebrate graduating uni. When April leaves the cafe, Lincoln uses their conversation as a reason to break the ice and talk more to Annabelle. A relationship begins to develop between the two.
ANNA (an anthropomorphism of Annabelle’s internal dialogue) is looking out the window of her tower and decides to rescue herself. As she nears the bottom, CON (Lincoln’s internal dialogue) arrives to help. Playing this game and dancing together, Anna and Con display the true feelings and nature of Annabelle and Lincoln’s relationship.
Annabelle and Lincoln’s relationship is characterised by bouts of extreme jealousy, manipulation and controlling behaviours often leading to violence. Some characters excuse these outbursts as “the way men are”, while others grow suspicious of Lincoln’s intentions and concerned for Annabelle’s safety.
