Call me Damien (20 Min)

How does it feel when your appearance doesn't match your inner feelings, when you are called and seen differently than how you would like? Which demons do you have to fight, which struggles to overcome in a society that doesn't leave much room for individuality and not within the "norm"? How liberating must this feeling be, when you can finally set yourself free from these norms, be yourself and live the life you want? A movie about identity, belonging, acceptance and love - from others to others but first of all the love for oneself.
