Our take

On a summer day of blistering heat, tensions, and tenderness, two long-lost lovers are reunited by chance, or perhaps, metaphysics. Carried by the enchanting performances of its lead actors, this lesbian love story explores the ache for a forbidden first love that is gone yet never forgotten.
