The growing conversation around the LGBTQIA community in contemporary society is directly proportional in its intensity to the reminder of a disturbing fact - the decades of rejection and denial of agency that the community has been subjected to. The short film is an endeavor in drawing your attention to the same fact. The method it employs to achieve its goal involves the portrayal of a true story from 1913. 

<br><br> When the film opens, it invokes for us an idyllic reality, marked by a brightness of colors and landscape, and the general cheer and intimacy that remains all pervasive as the viewer is taken deeper into it. We are further introduced to a loving couple, Jack and Anna, who is perfectly happy and content in each other's company in the little corner of their farm. However, anything that is marked by a perfection of the kind unfolding before you is bound to run into tragedy, as the narrative soon goes ahead to prove. 

<br><br> Through the delineation of all these events, the film furthers a very important conversation about the rigidity of society's monolithic structures, and the vehement opposition they put forth in the face of any flights from the normative order. It is then the story of two women, where one of them is forced to don the garb of a man simply to be able to be with the woman she loves, that the film presents an immensely relevant message to the viewer in an emphatic, resounding manner.
