sugar babies

'Sugar Babies' - two queer kids devise a con which goes wildly awry as they reconcile their love for each other.

Sugar Babies is a hypnotic, thrilling journey through London with two queer kids, trying to figure out what they want from both life and each other. The film is inspired by those friendships and relationships in life which feel imbalanced, insecure and unnerving.
