Built around footage of Samora from childhood up to the present, and featuring a collage of men of all ages, this film explores how different conceptions of manhood show up in body, language, and sound. Vulnerability is the center of this piece. We wanted to have representations from various generations, from the elders to the babies, to think about how we're raised, what society teaches us, and how we reveal ourselves over time. Particularly: how we reveal our softness, and how we stay honest about what we go through.
