Brisbane Powerhouse and Volkswagen present

9th Annual Brisbane Queer Film Festival

Spider Lilies

Sun 25 May 08

In this beguiling drama, sexy webcam girl Jade and tattoo artist Takeko reconnect after time and circumstance have pulled them apart. 

When webcam girl Jade decides to get a tattoo to spice up her act, she meets Takeko, a withdrawn tattooist who divides her time between her work and caring for her brother Ching. Jade recognises Takeko as her childhood crush, and falls in love again.

Entranced by a spider lily tattoo on Takeko’s parlour wall (the same tattoo that Jade recalls on Takeko’s body), Jade invites Takeko to visit her website where she professes her love for the tattoo artist. Finally, Jade asks Takeko to give her the same spider lily tattoo to bring her closer to the object of her desire.
