Co-created by Alison Goldfrapp and Gunning, the film follows five characters—Stranger, Laurel, Jo, Drew and Annabel—and spans themes of love, loss, madness and identity.

Gunning, who directed the video for the song, optioned feature-film rights to the novel in 2014.〔 "Clay" is based on a letter written by World War II veteran Brian Keith to his lover, another soldier known as "Dave". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tales of Us」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
