Based on the true story of the main character, Edmund, who deals with various forms of frustration rooted in life as a transgender person in a highly oppressive society. A series of absurd psycho-magical acts leads to the final liberation and allegorical transition into the pearl. To create a safe space to deal with traumas, Edmund’s family and friends were engaged in this process. The aim was not only to create the right therapeutic conditions for the main actor but also for the viewers dealing with similar issues – both by creating the representation and normalization of transgender body and sexuality.
