The group crafts strange new rules and rituals to help them combat their complacency and cynicism. They also test social conventions and their own inhibitions by living communally, swapping partners and exploring unconventional sexual relationships. Their new personal and sexual bonds are tested by the arrival of an ex-lover.
AMOROUS is "...a powerful and visually arresting take on the current crisis in youth culture."
