A lot I'd say - and while of course as always no pun(ch) intended ... your level of suspension of disbelief has to be high. Also if you care if the emotions that are clear from the story are not as well transported by the script or the actors.

Not trying to be mean - and you may feel differently while watching this (I'd be happy for you if this is the case) ... but the cliches and the low level of convincing ... it does not add up. The actors do try their best and I would not even fault them that much ... they can only work with what is given to them.

Overall the story is interesting and the repercussions even more so. But do we care? Is the ending a relief because it is an ending or because we have certain feelings about it? I may be overthinking certain things - and if you like low budget movies ... go ahead and give a like. But for most I wanted to be sure you know what you are engaging in ... for better or worse. It can only get better from here (in my humble opinion) .. and this is not a car crash to begin with.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
