At the heart of the narrative rests a mother-child equation, the equation shared between Patricia and Gemini. The former is completely unable to reach the latter, even though she can see something is truly weighing down on Gemini.
The narrative soon reveals the conflict gnawing away at Gemini, a transgender boy who wants to be called James, the same name as his father. The circumstance is more complex for Patricia who is struggling with her recent divorce.
As she attempts to wrap her head around it, to ease her son’s transition as well as provide him a safe space, the film presents its ideas to you. The narrative is well-intentioned with promising moments when it comes to the writing, and the expression of its intentions.
