Reviews (1)
This is a relatively bold film for its time, at least in the subject matter it wants to portray, but not so much in how it portrays it. It is a lesbian romance, which unfortunately is relatively classic in its conception, yet the actors, who are not that well-known, are able to capture your attention and you believe in their story.
