Lollipop Tattoo

Subtitles for: Lollipop Tattoo

Lollipop Tattoo (the sweet sounding name of a mastectomy scar) explores the creator’s surreal odyssey of tackling breast cancer. Twice. Her avatar, Eva, slips into youthful memories of seaside attractions and sunshine, which morph into something dark and corporeal as she juggles family life and illness. Rosebud, her husband, struggles to support Eva emotionally and she relies on her best friend Crystal, while their son Angelo’s needs and moods change. Eva’s mom in the US, Shortie, overcome with grief for her deceased son Dean, can’t cope. A decade later, Eva comes out the other side, having been touched both mentally and physically, but still standing.
