synopsis

When a chance supermarket encounter unlocks untapped passion in an ordinary woman, her grey life quickly goes into sensory overload. Your Approval Is Not Essential sheds a colourful, whimsical light on what happens when you let go of your inhibitions and - out of the blue - start embracing life's quirky pleasures.
Quand le hasard d'une rencontre au supermarché réveille des passions enfouies chez une femme ordinaire, sa vie grise et monotone s'en trouve bouleversée. Your Approval Is Not Essential dévoile de manière colorée et frivole ce qui se passe lorsque vous vous libérez de vos inhibitions et décidez de succomber aux plaisirs de la vie.
Een toevallige ontmoeting in een supermarkt doet onvermoede passie ontwaken in een gewone vrouw en brengt plots kleur in haar grijze leven. Your Approval Is Not Essential toont de zonderlinge zintuiglijke belevingen die je kan ervaren als je – al is het maar voor even – je remmingen vergeet en besluit om de grillen van het leven te omarmen.
