A crime film directed by Canadian filmmaker Charles Officer, the film intercuts the protagonist Akilah's criminal memories from when she was fifteen with her chance encounter with a young offender on the night she decided to go straight, showcasing a criminal's process of "atonement." The film references elements from Homer's epic "Iliad," adding a touch of classical tragic atmosphere to the story. The artistically beautiful visuals combined with music genres like reggae and rap make the audience feel as though they're watching a large-scale music video. The film was nominated for Best Canadian Film at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival.
