He didnt know how others seemed to walk it with ease Elom cant make sense of love. Its like a language he cant speak, though hes heard the words before. He wants to feel understood by his well-meaning yet misapprehending family, his self-assured partner Ben, and his boisterous friends but he never knows the right thing to say. How can you know yourself, in a world thats constantly changing? Set across Ghana and Scotland, this is an intimate portrait of one mans search for belonging, a familys attempt to love, and the choices that make a life.
