Delicate Friends
Oscar Revelins, Cushla Scanlan
Perth, Western Australia. Spring bleeds into a sweltering summer as twenty-year-old Austin finds himself in unfamiliar territory. After abandoning his grief-stained life in Melbourne, reinvention could be his salvation – if only he knew where to find it.
As Austin navigates class dynamics, social isolation, and a taut relationship with his estranged cousin, he meets handsome, older, and romantically jaded. Where Austin is reckless and petulant, Ezra is measured and guarded, though despite their polarity, they find themselves entangled in an unorthodox friendship that teeters between desire and disaster.
When wounds from both their pasts reopen, they must face the uncertainty of vulnerability or risk losing themselves – and each other – in the process.
Delicate Friends explores the thrilling yet painful grey area between friends and lovers, and charts the masochistic games we play in the pursuit of belonging.
