ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sweet ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

A darkly comic take on the housing crisis for Gen Z and Millennials. When their ‘inflationship' comes to an end, a young couple pin their hopes on a voyeuristic game show.

‘Inflationship’. Noun. Neologism. To cohabit with a partner, or ex-partner, out of necessity in order to split housing costs and bills.

Aniyah and Kofi are done. After ten years their relationship has tanked. The only issue - they’re sharing a studio flat, can’t afford to move, and find themselves in an ‘inflationship’. But now the landlady is selling and the writing is on the shared wall for their living situation. Is it curtains for cohabitation, or could new voyeuristic game show ‘ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sweet ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™ provide a lifeline?

A darkly comic take on the cost-of-living (and loving) crisis for Gen Z and Millennials.
