Stylized
Two actors, one male, one female illuminate the inner life of a trans woman from her Scottish childhood in the 1960s to the present day. Dragonfly is about how we construct and perceive gender, and how that can hide a person’s true identity not just from those around them, but even from themselves. Emerging from that; matching our inside to our outside is always hard, but for trans people it’s often a matter of life and death.
