Rahul, an immigrant from India, and Dante, an ex-marine from suburban Ohio, try to assimilate into San Francisco’s gay culture only to find that in a community of exiles, one is always a refugee. Singh has created a sensitive docu-drama that captures two individual coming-of-age stories intertwined with mutual experiences as “outsiders.”

“If you have ever known what it is like to tear yourself from your roots and transplant yourself in an alien culture, you will find this film talks to you. It’s about missing home, nostalgia and, of course, assimilation.”

“We all have prejudices and we all have desires to experience people unlike ourselves.”
