Based on 1953 a confession by Rude_Baby

In Britain in 1953, loving the wrong person could make you a criminal.

1953 is a romantic vintage love story between two Londoners — two women who find each other in a decade that had no language for what they felt and no protection for what they chose. Directed with visual breathtaking beauty and genuine emotional depth, this XConfessions short film pays homage to all the brave queer women of this era whose love stories were real, profound, and almost entirely unrecorded.

This is lesbian desire set against history: tender, defiant, and completely deserving of the recognition it never received.

Some love stories have been waiting seventy years to be told.
