"Love" the word, which most of have experienced in lot many ways and during different phases of life. It's the feeling which grower deeper and deeper, which grows naturally and which can lead to all its extents.
Not all kind of love are celebrated in society, some are accepted, some are rejected while some just die under the pressure of society. Acceptance of same sex love is still a questionable aspect in our society, understanding the depths of ocean filled with emotions needs to be addressed; as not all love stories ends as fairy tale, few just never start or many of them die under pressure. Though this narrative I am trying to address that story of love, story of struggle and story of emotions of a queer individual.
The story here revolves around a gay guy, who is born and brought up in the city of Ahmedabad under a conservative and heteronormative society. The story talks about the dreams which protagonist Joe has seen above his future. It even talks about the struggle of achieving dreams, career, self-acceptance, confusions, dating, finding a perfect partner, managing relationship, understandings and not last or least but acceptance from the society.
