Caption needed

The film Two People Exchanging Saliva (2024) unfolds in a dystopian world where kissing is forbidden and slapping functions as a form of currency. Within this unsettling setting, a shopgirl named Malaise (Luàna Bajrami)  begins a compelling yet risky relationship with Angine (Zar Amir), a wealthy and isolated woman. Filmed in black and white, largely inside Paris’s Galeries Lafayette, the work also features a voiceover by Vicky Krieps, known for her role in Phantom Thread (2017).
