Using pearls and mussels as metaphors for the exploration of intimacy, the quest for intimacy as a dual fit between body and soul, a feeling of intertwining, healing and matching, Jeux d'enfants (Love Me If You Dare) is a film that aptly reflects this understanding of intimacy. Either of the two parties would be the odd one out elsewhere, but they are a perfect match for each other, and they pull at the extreme of the game of dare or dare not, and the film ends tragically for us, but for them it's the ultimate existence of intimacy. At the same time there is no need to fit in with others, no fear of becoming a strange shape, even the strangest shapes can find another part that matches them, and ultimately, travelling through time and space dislocated thoughts in a courageous and persistent way takes us back to the matching of intimacy.

Utilising intimacy lingerie technology, pioneering red lip stitching, size adjustments using intimacy lingerie straps, and challenging lingerie to be worn outside of the body are all iconic elements, and the adjustability expresses the avoidance of stereotypes and unhealthy aesthetic standards, whilst at the same time, dismantling the youth-worshipping imagery behind the saree, with mesh yarns combining with soft fabrics in different materials that can be worn to match at any age profile, advocating for a positive body image, showing unique bravery and realising true freedom of dressing.
