Have a date later with the husband where I gracefully pick him up from work (on my bike) and we ride together to our fave computer store to buy a memory card and a hard drive, and then have romantic dinner together at our new fave Italian restaurant <3

The film has received numerous nominations from groups such as the Irish Film and Television Awards, Munich Film Festival, British Independent Film Awards, Frameline San Francisco International LGBTQ Film Festival. It won 2022 SXSW Film Festival Special Jury Award for Extraordinary Cinematic Vision, as well as Narrative Feature! [x]
