Tinashé

Tinashé wants his freedom. Away from his mother and her constant complaining. Tinashé’s best friend Victor takes him in, he has his own apartment and some room in his bed. Their mutual friend Zarah comes over, the three of them hang out together, cook and dance. This new life feels deeply familiar and yet excitingly new. Everything matters, and nothing really matters at all. A time full of possibilities and new challenges.
