CGiii Comment

At first glance, Leyla and Tristan are a happy young couple. But when they travel to a mysterious, remote island, what begins is a game of identities changing everything – their perception, their sexuality, their whole “self”. Not only is their relationship in jeopardy, they may never be who they once were again.

A psychological thriller in the light of the sun, a potential body horror solved in an extreme act of love. A transgender reflection boldly reasoning with surprising freedom on the boundaries of identity and the laws of attractions through bodies. A rigorous and irreverent debut, the definitive declaration of a possible emancipation from the cage of conventions.
