Translucent (2023)
Description
Kai’s a 20 year old trans man that has OCD but is unaware of it. His symptoms, which include fear of contamination, unwanted thoughts and repetitive compulsions, are out of control, causing him to self-isolate. By withdrawing himself from everyone he loves he thinks he’s protecting them from the monster he has been hiding inside. He is at his lowest point, feeling unsafe, unwanted and unnatural, so the intrusive thoughts manage to take over his entire life. After an inner battle with his own mind, he realises that the only way out is through.
