An intimate, introspective drama about a transgender teenager navigating identity, family dynamics, and the weight of medical and social decisions during a formative period.
J is in their early teens and lives in the countryside. J has been diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder, goes by the selected pronoun “they”, and takes hormone blockers to suspend puberty. While J’s parents are away, their older sister and her Iranian boyfriend are assigned the duties of house-sitting and looking after J.
