settle down
Suspended from her job teaching art, Aya's cleaning the walls and mapping elaborate plans for a cute future with her partner. Elly's not sure what settling down means for their queer life. Their closest friends show up with snacks and disagreements on how to handle the injustices of work and life. This comedy looks into the lives of four friends who laugh over family dinners, fizzy juice drinks, and dreams of a better future.
