Swans are F****** arseholes

February 20th-22nd 2026

A dark comedy for the algorithm age: absurd, alarming, and painfully human.

All Sarah wants is to be normal. Normal enough to keep her relationship with her boyfriend Mark, normal enough to hold a job, and normal enough to finally get sober and stay that way. She’s counting days, avoiding old habits, and trying to rebuild her life – until the internet explodes.

An AI-generated sex tape of Sarah with a swan goes viral overnight. Strangers recognize her, sobriety meetings become unbearable, and Mark
doesn’t know what to believe. Sarah insists it isn’t her, but in a world where images feel more real than truth, denial means very little. As the video spirals into memes, outrage, and public judgment, one question haunts everything: who made the tape, and why?
