This film is a deeply personal exploration of how queer individuals navigate identity

and self-discovery within the constraints of traditional societal norms.

Using nonlinear storytelling and poetic visual language,

I wanted to capture the journey of a young girl growing up in a conservative cultural environment.

Her differences in preferences and her emerging sexual orientation create a sense of alienation,

leading her to subconscious self-avoidance and isolation.



Through her struggles, she encounters an imagined friend—a vivid, bold embodiment of her suppressed desires.

This friend becomes a guide,

helping her face the parts of herself she has hidden,

understand her true needs, and find the courage to challenge societal expectations.
