    A fascinating take on some pretty heavy subjects... Monogomy, rape, sex shaming, gender roles. Written in verse, it makes for an unexpected read but well worth the time. Relationships are explored and end and begin and end again. Really well executed and wonderfully full of potential for a good director to sink their teeth into.
