Oona Chaplin stars as Frances, a young fantasy fiction fanatic who finds communicating in the real world a struggle. She's a con-langer - someone who constructs languages for fun. So when the opportunity to create 'dwarvish' for a new novel arises Frances jumps at the chance. But her dream job takes her on an even bigger adventure than she'd bargained for.

The Conlang of Love is a unique, heartfelt comedy about love, language and dwarves.
