Your Approval is not Essential

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.
