When an up-and-coming ventriloquist’s puppet begins exploring his gender, the ventriloquist must decide whether to support his puppet’s wishes at risk of their act while learning more about his own identity along the way.
This movie is near and dear to my heart because it parallels my own transition and the fear of losing opportunity, family and friends for allowing myself to just be. I hope that people see through this film that it’s okay to allow yourself to exist as you are, even if it means starting over. The people and opportunities that are meant for you will be there regardless.
