About This Movie

The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of his decisions to resonate. The film tackles themes of freedom and responsibility, painting a portrait of a young man's struggle against parental expectations. Performances are heartfelt, especially from Jacob, whose transition feels genuine, albeit a bit overdone at times.
