Storyline
Sebz traces an intimate and heartbreaking journey through her past and present, exploring the nuances of her identity as a non-binary, black, asexual trans person. Through an introspective narrative, Sebz reflects on the abuse she suffered as a child and the revelation that these experiences were not unique, but also familial. In a space where memory and reality intertwine, Sebz confronts her relationship with her mother, a complex connection torn between rejection and a search for understanding, accentuated by tensions of gender, sexuality and shared trauma. This short queer documentary is an honest and courageous portrait of wounds, family ties and the resilience that defines those who seek to exist beyond social impositions.
