I don’t know much about the movie but if it is about lesbianism then it is immoral and ungodly.<br>
God only approves a relation between a man and a woman<br>
<br>
Leviticus 18:22<br>
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.<br>

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

<br>
I am not sure what the film is about in its entirety, but the main<br>
storyline is a lesbian romance in Nairobi. It is the first Kenyan film to<br>
be nominated for the Cannes film festival and will premiere there on the<br>
8th of May.<br>
<br>
Here is the trailer for the film <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M_-ucSaFpU" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?<wbr>v=7M_-ucSaFpU</a><br>
