Temporary Grace, A

In an unflinching examination of the modern love story, A Temporary Grace is a raw and insightful exploration of power, vulnerability, and our urgent need to redefine intimacy.

Set in modern-day Newfoundland, A Temporary Grace weaves together a series of interconnected stories that navigate the complexities of dating in the post-MeToo era and through the oppressive forces that trap us in outdated patterns. Liberation is elusive. Coercive control masquerades behind performative displays of "goodness," making it difficult to recognize and resist. Brutally honest and yearning for self-actualization, these stories grapple with restless desire as predation and scams plague progressive circles and power imbalances lurk in unconventional relationships.
