    Quaint, riproaring, powerful, personal

    Starts off as what feels like a kooky expose of monk life and ends in a heart wrenching gut punching story of the author exploring vulnerability and radical honesty as well as living with the burden of avoidance.

    On a personal level it hit extremely hard and both the friendship and later relationship elements felt human in a way that only the awkwardness of life can. Love, love, love this film Music, visuals and cinematography are excellent and hats off the whole team.

    To those reviewers who felt disturbed by the focus on Ahsen's story, yes it is painful to watch, and yes it is beautiful see the bandaids rip.
