Indeed, Poppy moves across the globe to be with Sandeep, who must finally come out to her family.<\/p>\n<p>Filmed entirely by the two women themselves, some of the camerawork is shaky and the editing choppy. Besides presenting a narrative of successful online dating, the film raises issues of coming out, family acceptance, and long-distance and cross-cultural relationships.<\/p>\n<p>People both queer and straight will identify with Poppy and Sandeep\u2018s struggle to navigate a new partnership.
