Fourteen-year-old J goes by the pronoun “They” and lives with their parents in the suburbs of Chicago. J is exploring their gender identity while taking hormone blockers to postpone puberty. After two years of medication and therapy, J has to make a decision whether or not to transition.
A tender portrait of identities in flux, Anahita Ghazvinizadeh’s coming-of-age debut parallels adolescent blues with the doubts of adulthood. Compassionately charting the emotionally-charged journey of gender transition, the film captures how the path to self-actualization is rarely a straight line.
