    Nova Red

    Lau Maquedano

    Synopsis
    Nova lives in an industrial world captained by besuited monsters who have censored colour. Everyone has to wear grey suits and grey make-up. Nova does not question the rules, until one day she meets a queer subversive who gives her a red lipstick. She will then embark upon a double life, working in this industrial world, and expressing her gender identity in private through colour. But the more she fills her life with colour, the more difficult it will be for her to submit to the system's rules. Her secret identity will gradually spill over into public spaces. Can Nova survive in this oppressive world?
