As the film unfolds, audiences will be immersed in Tyris's raw and evocative verses, exploring themes of regret, healing, and the complexity of human emotions. The film serves as a powerful visual companion to McKnight's written words, inviting viewers to reflect on their own journeys of apology and forgiveness.
