“I soon realised that it wasn’t about him, about them, it wasn’t about anything outside of myself. It rushed over me, calming and cooling my skin. I am enough.”

 

Passion Fruit  follows our hero’s journey from boy to man, a story of coming of age in a world that seems to judge him for both his heritage and sexuality. After surviving a violent adolescence our hero finds thrill and acceptance on the black gay scene. However as well as hedonism and a home, the raving scene is a destructive underworld and before long our hero must rescue himself once more. Our hero will teach us that only self-love and self-acceptance can truly save us.

Passion Fruit  will having you rolling in your seat with laughter, bring a tear to your eye and make you question what it means to truly live.
