Fernando left home five years ago in hopes of finding himself away from the scrutiny of his family's homophobia and transphobia. An unexpected death in the family brings him back to his small hometown. He happens to run into his first love, who is coincidentally visiting family for the holidays. The man doesn't seem to recognize him considering the last time they saw each other Fernando used to go by Isabel. To avoid making things awkward, Fernando tries his best to stay away. Of course, they keep running into each other and strike up an unlikely friendship. By the end of the week, somehow, despite all odds, they fall in love all over again. There's just one problem. Aaron isn't gay. Kintsugi: the embodiment of wabi-sabi, a Japanese philosophy which finds beauty in imperfection.
