Original version with English subtitles

Back home after a night on stage, Kim strips away the remnants of her drag persona. As each layer of performance disappears, painful memories resurface, forcing her to confront what she has been trying to leave behind.

This short film is part of the series BECOMING, which explores non-binary and trans lives, challenging rigid gender expectations with wit, feeling, and a healthy dose of irreverence. It moves between humour and vulnerability, embracing the contradictions, surprises, and everyday absurdities of living beyond the lines of gender.
