About
When how it feels matters more than who you are with
Sagwan is a story of an 18-year-old boy named Alfred, whose routine life as a boatman becomes complicated as he discovers how much more life around him has to offer. His family's haunting dark past inhibits him from living his young life freely. He finds his tender sexual awakening while at first fascinated by the pleasures of the flesh, he soon learns that true pleasure originates from somewhere deep in the human soul.
