Brief Explanation

The film opens with a series of intimate vignettes of hands finding each other. Everyday moments like walking down the street, or laying on a blanket in a park. We reveal the hands are those of LGBTI couples. We then see a series of shots of these couples holding hands, but encountering a situation that makes them feel uncomfortable, so they let go. However, in a moment of pride, two men decide to hold tight to each other as they walk past a busy pub. A super appears over their tight grip: ‘When you feel like letting go. #HOLDTIGHT’ We then move into a supercut of couples holding tight. The film closes with a super that reads ‘ANZ is proud to continue supporting Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, and the Auckland Pride Festival followed by ANZ’s logo and their brand values ‘diversity, inclusion, respect.’
