After a mysterious girl shows up at Gray’s doorstep holding the corpse of a bird that had just cracked her window, an impromptu bird funeral changes how Gray sees herself and her lesbian identity; Ayla wakes up in a mountainous landscape, surrounded only by vegetation and a river. Driven by curiosity and a desire to get to know the place, she goes on a journey of discovery and diving; in the heart of New York City, Mike, a curious young teenager, sets off on a seemingly simple mission: to buy a magazine; If/When is a surreal, time-bending exploration of love, fate, and what it means to hold on when everything is slipping away; everything will change for one woman when she gets given an orange by an unknown figure; Carol panics and argues with her girlfriend Ray after an unexpected proposal, the situation gets worse when Ray transforms into a butterfly; a movingly tender animation, based on Dean Atta’s eponymous poem, Two Black Boys in Paradise sees two boys (Edan, 19, and Dula, 18) on a journey of self-acceptance and love – for each other and themselves.
Carol panics and argues with her girlfriend Ray after an unexpected proposal. The situation gets worse when she wakes up in an apocalyptic reality and terribly discovers that Ray has transformed into a butterfly. Ray's transformation, the invasion of the outside world into their home, and the growing tension between the two threaten their relationship. Carol is afraid of losing Ray……but devoting yourself to your girlfriend could come at a price.
