A Temporary Grace

نعمة مؤقتة

Not Translated

An uncompromising examination of the modern love story, Temporary Blessing is a raw and insightful exploration of strength, vulnerability, and our urgent need to redefine intimacy.

Set in contemporary Newfoundland, Temporary Blessing weaves together a series of interconnected stories that address the complexities of dating in the post-Me Too era and the oppressive forces that trap us in outdated patterns.Liberation is elusive... Coercive control hides behind false facades of “good,” making it difficult to perceive and resist. These stories are brutally honest, with characters yearning for self-actualization, the unrestrained desire of exploitation and fraud in progressive circles, and the power imbalances in unconventional relationships.
