Synopsis

In the vibrant heart of London, 18-year-old Dani, a young Romanian immigrant, arrives unannounced at her brother’s door, seeking the freedom she couldn’t find back home. As Dani embarks on a profound journey of self-discovery, grappling with her gender identity, she forms an unexpected connection with Mada, her brother’s mysterious cannabis dealer. In a city that promises the freedoms denied to her in Romania, Dani experiences the thrill of a passionate romance, while wrestling with the inner conflict of embracing her true self. Yet even in London’s diverse and seemingly accepting environment, revealing her authentic identity remains a daunting challenge—one that may come with a steep personal cost.
