Watching this film broke my heart in ways I didn't expect. From the very beginning, it grips you with an intensity that never lets go, delivering a story that is as raw as it is necessary. I truly believe only queer people will fully understand the depth of what this film portrays - the longing, the fear, the resilience, and the quiet moments of hope that shine through even in the darkest times.

One of the most powerful aspects of the film is its fearless exploration of the rights of transgender people to raise children. It does not shy away from the harsh realities and prejudice that trans parents face, and it forces the audience to confront questions about love, family, and the fundamental human right to belong. This theme alone makes the film deeply important in today's world.

The male lead delivers an absolutely phenomenal performance. Every glance, every hesitation, every unspoken thought is etched across his face with such authenticity that it's impossible not to feel his pain and his love. His portrayal is a masterclass in conveying complex emotions without ever slipping into melodrama - it feels real, raw, and deeply human.

But make no mistake: this film is brutal. It does not offer easy answers, nor does it allow for comfort. There are scenes that will leave you shaken, perhaps even angry, because of how honestly they reflect a reality many would prefer to ignore. Yet, this brutality is what gives the film its weight and its power. It is not just a story; it's a call for empathy and change.

This is not a film for the faint of heart, but it is one that matters. It stays with you long after the credits roll, lingering like an open wound and a quiet plea - to understand, to accept, and to fight for a world where love in all its forms is truly free.

Just saw this at the Beloit International Film Festival in Wisconsin, USA. I am floored by the story, the storytelling, the gorgeous cinematography, direction, the performances and how this film made me feel. I am so fortunate to have seen this! We are all sitting here crying from the beautiful power of this film. This film is a testament to love, kindness and humanity. It made me change the way I see the world. The performances are astounding. The chemistry between the leads is so powerful. Everyone was so real, I felt like I was watching through a peephole. This is a remarkable film that should not be missed!!!
