About this film+

Two strangers spend a day together in San Francisco after a one-night stand, talking about race and identity. The film is shot in a unique desaturated style that is almost black and white, giving it a soft, melancholic feel. It captures the quiet intimacy of two people connecting in a rapidly changing city.
