A multi-narrative exploration of gay desire and identity across different life stages, balancing intimacy and vulnerability with shame, secrecy, and the struggle for self-acceptance.
Four interwoven stories about love and self-acceptance: An eleven year-old boy struggles to keep secret the attraction he feels towards his male cousin. Two former childhood friends reunite and start a relationship that gets complicated due to one of them’s fear of getting caught.
