This clip from season 3 of the web series Flunk highlights the emotionally fraught experience of putting your relationship under a microscope.

An intimate look into the experience of therapy for young people, the camera rarely strays from the face of Flunk's conflicted protagonist, Ingrid. The therapist's gentle but direct line of questioning draws out halting responses, while flashes of a tender moment of intimacy flesh out the confused emotional landscape. The clip reflects the series' sensitive portrayal of queerness, youthful desire, and the difficulty of voicing your emotions when you don't know if you'll be understood.

Originally a coming-of-age story about the shy Ingrid balancing her Chinese-Australian identity, her attraction to women and life at a rural high school, Flunk has since expanded into what the creators call 'the world's largest LGBTQ+ cinematic universe'. To date, the franchise has seven seasons, six feature-length spin-offs, and is available on multiple streaming platforms, including YouTube and Tubi.
