A sad story about queers

So this is good and also sad. Also a little boring. But not as boring as it could be. It does have exciting moments and things do happen, just, they are small in all this stuckness.

I'm sure you can read this as a metaphor for the impact of trauma on queer relationships. Maybe I half do. But also. It's about submarines and unknowable threats and soft domesticity and fun facts about the sea.

Durchwachsen. Atmosphärisch aber nicht wirklich berührend.

Content warning Meta spoiler, nehmen aber das Ende vorweg
