Clip description

Sarah (Katie Shiel) invites Ayhan (Sait Memis Oglu) to her apartment.

Curator’s notes

It’s the start of a cross-cultural romance and Ayhan wants to impress Sarah with his sincerity. Sarah is curious about Ayhan’s reasons for moving to Australia. She plays it cool, but is clearly intrigued by Ayhan’s background and his ambitions.
