About the Story

Ben and Boseman are boyfriends who find themselves in a very sticky situation. In this dark comedic short from the cult hit queer duo Fruit Springsteen, take a drippy and trippy journey through Boseman’s water-free life as friends (and medical doctors) work to save a Philadelphia gay couple from crumbling under the weight of internalized hydrophobia and medicinal mpreg. A mix of nightmarish farce, practical effects, avant drag, and slapstick agitprop, Bathing Syrup gawks at couples therapy, modern love, and maple hygiene, leaving audiences laughing and wondering, “Huh, why was I born?"
