This film feels like a heartfelt, if sometimes clunky, journey of self-acceptance. It’s a gentle exploration of finding one's path through mentorship and discipline, wrapped in a distinctly 90s earnestness. Expect a blend of quiet introspection and awkward, yet ultimately uplifting, personal growth.
