    10/10
    A feel good dramatic comedy love story about loyalty and dreams.
    This movie builds as it goes along just like the characters do and especially the dynamic between Lucrative and Faustina. The supporting cast should not be missed either. There are definitely some surprises sprinkled in as well and the ending will leave you wanting a sequel. Gradation is surely not just black and white, but the colors in between.
