Hidden beneath the weight of societal taboos lies the story of a couple, quietly navigating their path forward. What begins as a deep, beautiful bond gradually frays, not for lack of love, but because society becomes a convenient excuse. A battle against the world can be fought when two hearts are united. But what happens when one of them, hesitantly and fearfully, sides with the very world they wish to stand against?
