Synopsis

The short film (10min) offers the audience a different perspective on identity. Six people with various backgrounds talk about their identity using the most meaningful object for their transformation and/or gender expression. The characters do not come into view but express their identity through this object by means of another's body.

The artistic documentary was screened in different countries of diverse focus. Audiences indicated being emotionally moved. Based on this experimental format combining audio and imagery, Debora has produced short films for organisations to guide the viewers' attention.
