THE TAILOR

It is a tender story about a young gender-neutral person on a day of a bridesmaid fitting who is struggling to fight for her identity. By chance, she has an encounter with an elderly Asian tailor. This meeting irrevocably changes their inhibitions about who they are and from that moment on they are inspired to live authentically. It is a story about identity, acceptance, mentorship, intimacy and hope.
