In Orevwa—the Haitian Creole word for both “goodbye” and “until we meet again”—EJ, a young, gay Haitian American barista growing up in South L.A., pours everything he has into caring for his ailing grandmother while still chasing his own aspirations. Desperate for a steady foothold, he signs up for a CNA training program, where he crosses paths with Jordan, his bold and utterly magnetic instructor. The chemistry between them is instant and electric, forcing EJ to balance the tug-of-war between romance, responsibility, and uncovering his true self. Orevwa is a tender, funny, and deeply human story about letting go of the person you used to be—and finding the courage to step into the person you’re meant to become.
