Clean Slate - Work in Progress Showing

Blowjobs, Bleach, and Beef Bourguignon. A woman’s domestic life crumbles as she is pushed to breaking point by her boyfriend’s relentless domestic incompetence –– and you’ve been cast as the boyfriend. She navigates the full weight of cooking, cleaning, planning, and hosting while questioning how much more she can take. Clean Slate refuses to let you sit comfortably in the dark; it drags you into the mess. You’re not merely watching –– you’re a witness, a confidante, an unwilling participant. One moment, you’re laughing; the next, the air is thick with something unspoken. How many plates can pile up before they start being thrown?

"If we empower women to work outside the house without expecting men to work inside the house - then we aren't empowering women. We're exploiting them." - Farida D.
