It was so beautiful and dreamy and made my heart flutter OUT of its chest.
The reality of duty and expectations of how that duty is to show up in your personhood regardless of your feelings and desires, the reality of defying odds and the risk of your future - ITS ALL THERE. add in the history of two countries who are built on genocide, racism, and hold fiercely to “tradition” wrapped in heteronormative and patriarchal supremacy and you’ve just got a master piece that rips apart the constructs of society and the language that many people hide behind to support their bigot ideals and homophobic dealings.
You also just have the sweetest little love story and I simply LOVED every minute. Nora. June. Alex. And Henry. You’re all ICONS.
