I BORROW A BUTTERFLY

I Borrow a Butterfly is a quiet, sharp story about queer friendships, becoming, and the things we carry before we're ready to name them.

Set against Nairobi's restless skyline, three friends stand at the edge of adulthood-watching the city grow faster than they are. They talk about love like it's a theory, ambition like it's guaranteed, and pain like it belongs to someone else. But beneath the laughter are unspoken truths: fractured identities, wounds, and desires that don't fit neatly into the lives they're expected to live.

This is not a coming-of-age story where everything resolves cleanly. It's about borrowing courage when you don't yet own it. About holding joy briefly, like a butterfly, knowing it might not stay. About learning that survival, softness, and selfhood can exist in the same breath.

Tender, urban, and deeply gay, I Borrow a Butterfly explores what it means to grow up in a city that never waits-and what it costs to become yourself anyway.
