The film walks in the footprints of a lot of similar coming of age queer stories that come before it. The hiding of the true self, the fear of being an outcast, the fear of society and family, etc. Everything about the film is a real good example of the scenes they are — the love scenes are great examples of love scenes. The brutal moments — are so brutal it hurts you. The best part of the film are the colors which are so vibrant, but never really seem over the top. It places you in a world that is just so excitable. I had never seen a Kenyan film before, which is why I was very excited to check it out . Samantha Mugatsia was the standout of the actors as Kena. Everything about her was just pitch perfect.
