Employing the narrative of Pierrot the Clown and the aesthetics of Kenneth Anger's pioneering queer avant-garde film Rabbit's Moon, Pierrot Mulatto explores the search for British identity from a mixed-race, lesbian British perspective. Pierrot Mulatto's life goal is to catch a giant sycamore seed that falls every day from the arms of Harlequin Jack, a crazed Black man in whiteface, driven mad by his own quest for British acceptance. A mixed-race woman, Pierrot is encouraged to strive for her "white potential" while battling rejection, rage, and the warping of time in the English countryside.
