In Nairobi's vibrant youth scene, two young women, Kena and Ziki, defy societal expectations with their forbidden love. Amidst the colorful rhythms of street life, they find solace in each other, challenging traditional norms that dictate "good Kenyan girls" should only aspire to marriage. As their bond grows, they must weigh happiness against security in a society where same-sex love is still criminalized.
