'Love Your Clean Feet on Thursday' is the second from the choreography film series by Young-jun Tak.

The video challenges the conventional binary presentation of genders through queer male bodies and movements. It juxtaposes the hypermasculinity staged by Spanish Legion soldiers’ spectacular 'Maundy Thursday' ritual carrying the crucifix in Malaga during the Holy Week that leads to the Easter Sunday, and the hyperfemininity worshiped by numerous male dancers constantly lifting up and carrying the eponymous female protagonist in Kenneth MacMillan’s ballet 'Manon' (1974).

Throughout the film, while alternating with the Christian ritual, six gay male dancers’ choreography in Berlin’s popular gay cruising forest Grunewald fills the gap between the polarized gender presentations by showing apparent differences and revealing bizarre similarities.
