Through spoken word, we follow Openi - an introverted, introspective, Chinese-diasporic queer on the cusp of a solar return - as they reflect on the nuances and intricacies of the relationship between their lover and themself. This autobiographical self-portrait explores themes of lust, idealism, non-attachment, and the notion of the meeting of soul-mates as both an intensely gratifying and autodidactic experience.
