Our take

Olga Chajdas’s feature debut is an assured tale of self-discovery that deals with the ever-unpredictable consequences of desire. Building on the magnetic chemistry between the two leads, Nina handles its erotic charge with grace and allure, blossoming into a beguiling portrait of queer awakening.
