“Changing has consequences. Not changing also has consequences.”
SYNOPSIS
EN > A small town smack bang in the American Midwest. Suzanna, aged 23, changes gender and becomes a boy: Coby. Her transformation deeply disrupts the lives of all who love her. Ultimately, Coby’s chrysalis morphs into the transformation of a whole family compelled to modify their own perspectives. Not only a physical metamorphosis is at stake here, but also a spiritual one that eventually takes place under the director’s bright, unusual eye.
FR > Dans un village du Middle-West, Suzanna, 23 ans, change de sexe et devient un garçon : Coby. Cette transformation bouleverse la vie de ceux qui l’aiment. Une chrysalide qui devient celle de toute une famille contrainte de s’adapter.
