VIBE

This film feels like a raw, unfiltered scream of self-discovery, wrapped in a chaotic, mixed-media fever dream. It's a subversive, punk-rock take on identity and trauma, blending biting satire with deeply vulnerable emotional beats. Expect a visually inventive and emotionally resonant journey through queer rebellion and artistic expression.
