Aster is a freshly-out trans girl exploring her evolving sexuality. Sophie is a bisexual woman with too many hot Feeld dates to count. As Aster crashes out over the significance of doing a ~certain~ sexual act for the first time, Sophie tries to reassure her, only to begin spiraling over her own romantic pining. In this dramedy of queer femme friendship, these not-quite-old-not-quite-young women trade insults, reassess 90s rom-coms, and–-most importantly–-hold each other up.
