Sorry...but watching someone shave and dress is not exactly a riveting film!


Trailer...

Petra from Take Two XX on Vimeo.

The(ir) Blurb...

The film details a normal morning routine for Petra, who is transitioning from male to female and becomes her true self within the short film. With no dialogue, we see Petra emotional and visual transition. A film carries a connection between the beauty and unpredictability of 16mm film and the outer body connecting with the soul. The film is strongly influenced by Rainer Werner Fassbinder's The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant and the fragile male/female humanity of Margit Carstensen's character of Petra.
