In his desire to provide physical support for the birthing parent of his child, Jacob (he/they) challenges traditional parental roles by exploring the possibility of male breastfeeding.

This poetic documentary follows a Japanese art of rope, Shibari. I reflect on the physical and emotional forms of pain. The film provides an intimate glimpse into the journey from the confrontation with pain to deal with it and finding its new meanings. Ultimately, it offers a window into the transformative power of physical practices and their potential for self-discovery and personal growth.
