Their increasingly close friendship leads to community rumours and allegations that they are in a gay relationship.[2]

The film received three Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 11th Canadian Screen Awards in 2023, for Best Motion Picture, Best Supporting Performance in a Film (Rashidi) and Best Original Screenplay (Foroughi).[5]
