About This Movie

Ben and Raz, a gay couple, navigate the complex emotional landscape of wanting a child while living in a gentrifying migrant neighborhood. The film's pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build slowly—it's not just about their personal struggle but also how societal issues intersect with their lives.
