ABOUT THE MOVIE

Gender transition is no different than any other human change. It has its ups and downs, scary, funny, strange, surprising, and frustrating little moments that are rarely talked about. This short film visually explores these moments through the eyes of Espi - a 24-year-old protagonist that just went through the transition.
