The short film opens on an intriguing note where parallel stories seem to be unfolding. The narrative soon adopts a non-linear approach to reveal to the viewer its core concerns, the lived reality and experiences of a transgender woman, Rachel. The plot is notable in the manner in which it shows how society looks at someone who breaks out of heteronormativity, while also normalising transgender identities.
Rachel's love life is allowed to develop alongside that of a traditional couple that is plagued by several complications in the form of the man's sexism and aggressiveness. A further engagement with the plot reveals another problem with Rachel's lover, and the rest of the film is about how they reconcile with it. When two people, after having been subjected to loneliness and isolation of their own respective kinds, find themselves first coming together then drifting apart, what will be the eventual outcome of their equation?
