The white teenager Roy regularly shows up at the doorstep of Pandora, a middle-aged Black transgender woman, in an attempt to convince her of how much he’s in love with her. She wants to stay out of trouble, and is reluctant because of past experiences with men that weren’t willing to commit. An interaction that transcends itself in a subtle yet poignant way, in which thoughts not uttered live in the smallest gesture or the exchange of a glance.
