People say "I'm sorry" to mean both "I'm sorry I hurt you" and "I'm sorry someone else did something I have nothing to do with." Kristin and Ciaran, a Swedish immigrant and a Brazilian-born Scottish boyfriend, are living in a small Edinburgh flat and are forced to confront the thing they are both avoiding, leading them to question their place in the world.

People often use the phrase "I'm sorry" to convey two different meanings: one of remorse for causing harm to someone, and another of apology for something that is not their fault. It's as if the English language has given up on finding a word for sympathy that doesn't also imply guilt.
Swedish immigrant Kristin is hesitant to discuss the project growing within her. Her Brazilian-born Scottish boyfriend, Ciaran, doesn't speak English at all, as he is dedicated to immersing himself in a Swedish language bath to prepare for their future, whatever that may entail. Their Edinburgh flat is beginning to feel cramped.
As this young couple is compelled to face the issue they are both avoiding, they must grapple with more profound questions about the world around them and their respective roles within it.
