Permanence

Clara and Francis have been meeting in hotel rooms for years, stealing time away from their 'real lives' to pursue a secret, all-consuming love affair. Until one day they wake up in a room neither of them recognises, with no memory of how they got there.

This is the Other City – a self-contained, artificial paradise where adulterers can live openly as a couple for as long as they want. The sky is painted over the town square in unchanging, cloudless blue. Perfectly ripe fruit waits for them on the coffee table each morning. Cruelty is not allowed here. Activities without your other half are not allowed. And contact with the real world is not allowed.

How much would you sacrifice in exchange for everything you ever wanted? And how long can you stay in paradise before the cracks start to show?
