Desire is all about breaking risks and limits and these stories explore both its dreadful and fertile potential. 'Love is Colour Blind' traces a passionate affair between a young man and a lighthouse. Similarly 'Loving Another' shows a married woman abandoned and uncertain of how to come to terms with the fact that her former husband is having an affair with a geometric formation. 'Foundation' describes a string of tragic, historically shattering incidents revolving around a corset. 'Leda' retells the celebrated Greek myth, sharing briefly the swan’s angle, and 'Buttoned Up' sensitively voices the anguish of a conscientious young button collector whose father wants to bully a sexual education into him. 'Disgusting' deals with revulsion as a reflex rather than an authentic reaction and 'The Running Man' shows necrophilia in a more positive light. 'Education' is set in a school where teacher and pupil are attracted and 'Things I Would Never Do' takes place on the Mendip Hills.
