    Dear Alex,

    I don’t know much about the movie but if it is about lesbianism then it is 
    immoral and ungodly.
    God only approves a relation between a man and a woman

    Leviticus 18:22
    You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.

    Genesis 2:24
    Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his 
    wife, and they shall become one flesh.

    Regards

    I am not sure what the film is about in its entirety, but the main
    storyline is a lesbian romance in Nairobi. It is the first Kenyan film to
    be nominated for the Cannes film festival and will premiere there on the
    8th of May.

    Here is the trailer for the film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M_-ucSaFpU
