Director’s Statement
Even if a queer person acknowledges their identity, truly revealing oneself before their loved ones is often still a gap that cannot be bridged. This film explores this second process of acceptance. Through the interpretation of American-Burmese transgender actor Chrissy, the film shows queer people’s inner struggles but also presents their kind, brave, and strong side, and even more importantly, tells everyone, no matter who you are, that you deserve to be loved.
